Re: Warning: header, need origin

    In private e-mail, Roy, Jeff, and I agreed that HTTP could require
    this ignoring of Cache-control to be _detectable_ by the origin
    server.  If a cache is operating under a situation where it is
    ignoring caching header, it should include a
    
     Cache-control: max-stale=<something>
    
    header in the request.  Origin servers could, on detecting this
    header, deny service if caching would violate law.
    
For the record, I never agreed to this, and will never agree to it.
