Yes, TCN does not address this problem directly. As you correctly point out, you can do some things with special remote variant selection algorithms which take cookies into account, but I see this as a technology option for the far future. In my opinion, it is too early to consider extending Vary for matching on parts of headers. We do not even know yet whether HTTP/1.1 proxies will implement all the extra optimisations made possible by plain HTTP/1.1 Vary. Also, just doing Etag based conditional GET processing for your negotiated content will give a very nice improvement over HTTP/1.0 already. >-rv Koen.
