## Feature Toggles

### Fetching Feature Toggles

**GET: http://unleash.host.com/features**

This endpoint is the one all clients should use to fetch all available feature toggles 
from the _unleash-server_. The response returns all active feature toggles and their 
current strategy configuration. A feature toggle will have _at least_ one configured strategy. 
A strategy will have a `name` and `parameters` map.

> _Note:_ Clients should perfer the `strategies` property. 
> Legacy properties (`strategy` & `parameters`) will be kept until **version 2** of the format.   

This endpoint should never return anything besides a valid *20X or 304-response*. It will also 
include a `Etag`-header. The value of this header can be used by clients as the value of 
the `If-None-Match`-header in the request to prevent a data transfer if the clients already
has the latest response locally.

**Example response:**
```json
{
  "version": 1,
  "features": [
    {
      "name": "Feature.A",
