See: open-feature/flagd#1858

We can do some very aggressive and efficient caching if we make this simple change, basically using the ETag to prevent re-evaluations (the server will send 304 unless the servers flag config has changed). But, after context changes, we need to remove this so that we force-reevaluation with the new context.

I'm not sure if we should spec this somehow, is there a spec somewhere for OFREP client providers?

Summary of Changes

Hello @toddbaert, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a crucial enhancement to the OFREPWebProvider by ensuring that cached data, identified by an ETag, is invalidated whenever the evaluation context changes. This prevents the use of stale data and guarantees that feature flag evaluations are always based on the most current context, improving data consistency and reliability.

Highlights

  • ETag Invalidation: The _etag property is now explicitly set to null within the onContextChange method of the OFREPWebProvider. This ensures that a new ETag is fetched, forcing a refetch of data when the evaluation context changes.

Code Review

The pull request introduces a crucial change by invalidating the ETag when the evaluation context changes. This ensures that the provider always fetches the latest flag configurations from the OFREP API when the context is updated, preventing the use of stale cached data. This is a correct and necessary enhancement for maintaining data consistency and accuracy in flag evaluations.
