Much earlier[2] when I reviewed the patch, I wrote this:

Unfortunately, I didn't pursue this any further back then because
@pbogdan noted[3] the following:

Since running with this patch in some deployments, I found that both
Firefox and Chrome/Chromium do NOT re-validate against the ETag if the
Last-Modified header is still the same.
So I wrote a small NixOS VM test with Geckodriver to have a test case
which is closer to the real world and I indeed was able to reproduce
this.
Whether this is actually a bug in Chrome or Firefox is an entirely
different issue and even IF it is the fault of the browsers and it is
fixed at some point, we'd still need to handle this for older browser
versions.
Apart from clearing the header, I also recreated the patch by using a
plain "git diff" with a small description on top. This should make it
easier for future authors to work on that patch.

There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.

So far, the Nix store directory was hardcoded and if someone uses a
different Nix store directory the patch won't work. Of course, this is
pretty uncommon, but by not only substituting the store directory but
also the length of it we also save a few calls to ngx_strlen(), which
should save us a few cycles.

The original patch introduced a new "real" variable which gets populated
(and allocated) via ngx_realpath(). It's properly freed in error
conditions but it won't be freed if ngx_http_set_etag returns
successfully.
Adding another ngx_free() just before returning fixes that memory leak.
I also fixed a small indentation issue along the way.

This adds the nginx module `ngx_http_proxy_connect_module` which allows
to tunnel HTTPS through an nginx proxy[1].
As this module contained patches for several nginx version, some minor
adjustments were needed:
* Allowed each entry in `nginxModules` to provide patches.
* Added an optional `supports` attribute to ensure that each module can
determine if it supports the currently built nginx version (e.g. stable
1.14 ATM or mainline 1.15 ATM).

Currently, it seems there is no easy way to override package to add
modules. For example, if we want to add the `ipscrub` module, we can
do:
pkgs.nginxStable.override {
modules = [ pkgs.nginxModules.ipscrub ];
};
But, then, we loose `rtmp`, `dav` and `moreheaders` which are defined
in `all-packages.nix`. With this modification, we can now do:
pkgs.nginxStable.override {
modules = pkg.nginxStable.passthru.modules ++ [ pkgs.nginxModules.ipscrub ];
};
