   Hello @dougwilson,

   I noticed that strong ETags (generated by Express) are the same for compressed and uncompressed responses. Is it somehow possible to generate a different strong ETag when the response is compressed?

   My use-case: we have an Express application => nginx => Akamai

   • Akamai only supports strong ETags
   • if the compression is done by nginx, it sets a weak ETag => FAIL
   • if the compression is done by Express, it sends the same (strong) ETag as for the uncompressed response => FAIL

   Thank you
