Conditional GET is not a thing. The method is called HTTP cache revalidation. Changes links to relevant RFC sections for clients and publishers.

I’d prefer keeping the term “conditional GET” because it seems to be more widespread and easier to understand.

@da2x Your linked RFC even calls them “conditional requests”:

Each client in the request chain may have its own cache, so it is common for a cache at an intermediary to receive conditional requests from other (outbound) caches.

Furthermore, MDN also uses the term “conditional request” in its wiki.
