The above change removes cache invalidation based on Content-Location for
GET/HEAD. The part of P6-cache that discussed cache invalidation based on
Content-Location for PUT, POST, and DELETE was retained. That doesn't make
sense to me; it seems like we should either always invalidation based on
Content-Location (for the same host) or we never should. I support "we never
should" as it makes it easier to get rid of Content-Location.
