Henrik proposes: =0=0=0=0=0=0= HTTP/1.1 origin servers MUST include a Vary header field (see section 14.43) in any cachable response based on server-driven negotiation and SHOULD include a Vary header field with a non-cachable response based on server-driven negotiation. =0=0=0=0=0=0= While I agree that no harm is done if an origin server sends a Vary header field with a non-cachable response, I cannot understand why a stronger requirement (ie, a SHOULD) is asked. I think it means that such a header could be useful in some way, but since the resource cannot be cached a negotiation has to be done anyway. Even section 14.43 of RFC2068 does not tell me much. Could anybody enlighten me, please? ciao, .mau.
