I mean a way for the proxy to tell the client to go direct...I'm not
as interested in the origin server telling the client to reconnect
directly instead of using a proxy. Basically this would be for
environments where the proxy is not straddling a firewall: a proxy
could selectively cache origin servers, or send a client directly to
an origin server that for some reason was known to be not cacheable.
Thanks,
Kip

What exactly do you mean?
Do you mean an origin server redirecting a client, which
connected via a proxy, to try again direct?
Or do you mean a proxy telling a client to go direct?
