    2121When the client next requests the same resource, it might send along a header
    2222such as `If-modified-since`_, containing the date of the last modification
    2323time it was sent, or `If-none-match`_, containing the ``ETag`` it was sent.
    24 If there is no match with the ETag, or if the resource has not been modified,
    25 a 304 status code can be sent back, instead of a full response, telling the
    26 client that nothing has changed.
     24If the current version of the page matches the ``ETag`` sent by the client, or
     25if the resource has not been modified, a 304 status code can be sent back,
     26instead of a full response, telling the client that nothing has changed.
