Quirk · GET /api/x402/edge-conditional-304 · Edge / CDN Controls
The paid resource carries an ETag, and a later conditional request is answered 304 from cache without re-payment.
Explanation
The paid resource is served with an ETag, and a later conditional request (If-None-Match) is answered 304 Not Modified from cache without a fresh payment, letting a client replay access for free. The merchant must not let conditional revalidation bypass the payment gate on protected resources.

The first paid call returns an ETag; a replay with -H 'If-None-Match: "paid-resource-v1"' (no payment) returns 304.
Facilitator
Settled against the live Radius testnet facilitator (https://facilitator.testnet.radiustech.xyz). A valid payment runs a real /verify and /settle on-chain.
