Re: Working Group Last Call: Cache-Status

Sorry for the lack of response earlier.

Squid v6 has implemented this header and replaced old X-Cache and 
X-Cache-Lookup outputs with Cache-Status. This version is currently 
still in development builds, and should start to see widespread use 
sometime 2022.

Experience with the header itself so far is that it reduces confusion a 
lot over conflicting labels from the X-Cache* using the same words with 
slightly different meanings. This benefit alone has been useful enough 
that we plan to keep this change.

We emphasize that other implementers should take care to understand the 
security section of this document before going beyond simple HIT/MISS 
indicators.
