Main causes

  • Conditional request headers such as If-Unmodified-Since or If-None-Match are used in the request, and the conditions specified don't match the current state of the resource.

  • Attempting to modify or update a resource that has been changed since the timestamp provided in the If-Unmodified-Since header.

  • Sending a request with an If-None-Match header containing an ETag that doesn't match any of the current ETags for the resource.

  • Using methods other than GET or HEAD on a resource that requires specific precondition headers which aren't met or are absent in the request.
