---------- ] From: Jeffrey Mogul <mogul@pa.dec.com> ] Date: Friday, March 08, 1996 11:16AM ] ] All the protocol has to say (with respect to cache behavior) is ] "when combining headers from an old response and a refreshed ] 304 response, always use the more recent value for any fields present ] in both responses." If digesting is going on, the requirement will likely be a little stronger -- the cache won't be able to combine headers from different responses, so the server should make sure that it always sends a complete set, or that it sends a digest of the set that the cache will choose to send, and perhaps the cache should detect if it gets out-of-date headers.
