2) The use of "..." around the rev number
3) Content-Type: is different, see the space between ;...charset

Pleas always use ETag without "..."
When a new document is been created, also use ETag because its already indicated by status 201, no need for special headers.

Also note Content-Type: is different, see the space between ;...charset
