Roy T. Fielding: > [...] >It is still a good idea to recommend installation of time synchronization >software along with the server docs, but things are not as bad as they seem. I agree, things are not as bad as they seem. I may be repeating the obvious here, but the 1.1 Age header will do away with incorrectness due to unsynchronised clocks, at least in a pure 1.1 chain. Once everything is 1.1, unsynchronised clocks will no longer threaten correctness. They will still threaten efficiency though, due to some unfortunate properties of the (current) HTTP/1.1 age calculation algorithm. >.....Roy Koen.
