I added support for SHA-1 and SHA-2 (-256, -384, and -512) digest
algorithms to ETag. The relevant commit is here:
http://github.com/jamesarosen/rack-contrib/commit/5f2aa98e5e3898b0e60f3adc4304330f1fa04e69
I admit that the primary benefit of SHA-2 (better resistance to pre-
and post-image attacks), is not terribly important in the context of
an ETag. Still, I prefer to avoid outdated hash functions where
possible.

Applied in rack-contrib. I believe ETag was taken in rack core, so we
may need to figure that out.
Thanks,
