The last paragrpah of 14.9.4 says: The proxy-revalidate directive has the same meaning as the must-revalidate directive, except that it does not apply to user-agent caches. It should be changed to: The proxy-revalidate directive has the same meaning as the must-revalidate directive, except that it does not apply to non-shared user-agent caches. It can be used on a response to an authenticated request to permit the user's cache to store and later return the response without needing to revalidate it (since it has already been authenticated once by that user) , while still requiring proxies that service many users to revalidate each time (in order to make sure that each user has been authenticated). Note that such authenticated responses also need the Cache-Control: public directive in order to allow them to be cached at all. in order to explain the motivation for the directive. ---------------------------------------------------- Paul J.
