Fix automatic ETag generation for API caching.
Review Request #6979 — Created Feb. 26, 2015 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
The automatic ETag generation we've had for a long time has been pretty badly broken, and this became noticeable once we turned on automatic ETags for all resources in Review Board recently. Basically, we were computing an ETag from the available field information on the resource, and not from the values for that particular object. This meant that if a value changed, the ETag would not. We now generate it based on the representation of each value in the computed list.
Unit tests pass.
Tested this manually by fetching a resource, updating a value, and fetching
again.
