If server responds with ETag then next time client can resend it via If-None-Match header.
Then httpd will check if file wasn't modified and if not return 304 Not Modified status code.
The ETag value is constructed from file's last modification date in unix epoch and it's size:
"hex(last_mod)-hex(file_size)" e.g. "5e132e20-417" (with quotes).
That means that it's not completely reliable as hash functions but fair enough.
The same form of ETag is used by Nginx so load balancing of static content is safe.

The Last-Modified header is used for caching.
The client (browser) will send back the received date to server via If-Modified-Since request header.
But both headers MUST be an RFC 1123 formatted string.
And the formatting consumes resources on request parsing and response generation.
Instead we can use ETag header.
This simplifies logic and the only downside is that in JavaScript the document.lastModified will return null.

RFC 2616 sec. 14.18 says that server MUST send Date header.
But in fact the header make sense only for Cache-Control and can be omitted.
In the same time the Date eats power, CPU and network resources which are critical for embedded systems.

PLATFORM_LINUX is a hidden configuration option which is disabled by
default and enabled at over a hundred locations for features that are
deemed to be Linux specific.
The only effect of PLATFORM_LINUX is to control compilation of
libbb/match_fstype.c. This file is only needed by mount and umount.
Remove all references to PLATFORM_LINUX and compile match_fstype.c
if mount or umount is enabled.

Duplicate options are currently overridden (only the last option is kept).
This leads to unexpected behavior when using long options.

Commit d1b75e184 (httpd: permit non-default home directory with NOMMU
enabled) only works when used with the '-f' (foreground) option.
When '-f' isn't specified and NOMMU is enabled bb_daemonize_or_rexec()
is called to daemonize the server. Since the server process has been
re-execed the previous patch results in the xchdir() not being called.
Fix this by resetting the re_execed variable in this case.

When BusyBox is compiled with NOMMU enabled running httpd with
the '-h' option fails even if the specified directory exists:
$ ls -d www
www
$ busybox httpd -fvvvp 8080 -h www
...
... try to access http://localhost:8080/www
...
httpd: can't change directory to 'www': No such file or directory
The parent process executes xchdir("www"). When a connection is accepted
it's handled by re-executing httpd in inetd mode. The child process
inherits the current directory "www" and tries to change directory again
to "www", which fails.
Omit the call to xchdir() when httpd is re-executed.

Review of real-world results of the above shows that with small
initial offsets, freq correction can be allowed to kick in sooner,
whereas with large (~0.8s) offsets, we still start freq correction
a bit too soon.
Let's rebalance this a bit.

Under some circumstances, a DNS reply might contain no resource records,
e.g. when a valid domain is queried that does not have records of the
requested type.
Example with nslookup from BIND dnsutils:
$ nslookup -q=SRV example.org
Server: 10.11.12.13
Address: 10.11.12.13#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find example.org: No answer
Currently the busybox nslookup applet simply prints nothing after the
"Non-authoritative answer:" line in the same situation.
This change modifies nslookup to either print "Parse error" or "No answer"
diagnostics, depending on the parse_reply() return value.
