IIS 6.0 generates eTag values in the format of "hash:changenumber". The changenumber goes up every time IIS resets, so your eTag is only valid for the lifetime of your IIS process. Restart, number goes up, hash:changenumber != hash:changenumber+1. The fix for this is to hard-code the changenumber, which is possible using the Metabase E...
