Request.evaluatePreconditions("something")
If-Match: something -> null // if (functionValue matches headervalue)
If-Match: somethingelse -> non-null
If-None-Match: something -> non-null // if (functionValue doesn't
match headervalue)
If-None-Match: somethingelse -> null
Its basically like an if statement with true returning null and false
returning a Response.
