    # Sets the etag, last_modified, or both on the response and renders a
    # <tt>304 Not Modified</tt> response if the request is already fresh.
    #
    # Parameters:
    # * <tt>:etag</tt>
    # * <tt>:last_modified</tt>
    # * <tt>:public</tt> By default the Cache-Control header is private, set this to true if you want your application to be cachable by other devices (proxy caches).
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   def show
    #     @article = Article.find(params[:id])
    #     fresh_when(:etag => @article, :last_modified => @article.created_at, :public => true)
    #   end
    #
    # This will render the show template if the request isn't sending a matching etag or
    # If-Modified-Since header and just a <tt>304 Not Modified</tt> response if there's a match.
    #
    # You can also just pass a record where last_modified will be set by calling updated_at and the etag by passing the object itself. Example:
    #
    #   def show
    #     @article = Article.find(params[:id])
    #     fresh_when(@article)
    #   end
    #
    # When passing a record, you can still set whether the public header:
    #
    #   def show
    #     @article = Article.find(params[:id])
    #     fresh_when(@article, :public => true)
    #   end

    # Sets the etag and/or last_modified on the response and checks it against
    # the client request. If the request doesn't match the options provided, the
    # request is considered stale and should be generated from scratch. Otherwise,
    # it's fresh and we don't need to generate anything and a reply of <tt>304 Not Modified</tt> is sent.
