Fine, but I hope you realize that is what RFC2616 defined. Combining cacheability and freshness into one category in p6 lost that distinction, and yes it was an intended design. There is nothing wrong with telling a cache that a response doesn't have a fixed expiration time. That's why found the prior text so disconcerting in p2. The alternative would be to say that if a response contains public but no max-age, then a cache cannot reuse it without revaluation, which is clearly not what the origin server wants. ....Roy On Jan 27, 2013, at 6:13 AM, Mark Nottingham <mnot@mnot.net> wrote: > I'm in Changai airport right now, and not in any position to tweak. > > The overall approach may be workable, but the thing that immediately leaps out at me is the new, magical semantics for public. No cache behaves like that to my knowledge, and furthermore it's pretty useless; if an origin is going to go to the trouble to mark something public, it can assign an explicit freshness lifetime. > > Please hold publication until we work through this; there's no sense in publishing two drafts in as many days.
