I wouldn't want to deprecate a feature that was useful (although the fact that it is used isn't necessarily proof it's useful if it's only servers that use it). I appreciate discussion on whether it's too useful to deprecate. Does anybody have counter-examples of clients handling Vary properly and sites benefiting from that? thanks, Lisa On Nov 5, 2006, at 2:13 PM, Robert Sayre wrote: > On 11/5/06, Lisa Dusseault <lisa@osafoundation.org> wrote: >> >> While it can be a little painful to live with a deprecation period, >> it ends at some point, and I can't see how the deprecation period >> would be worse than the situation Henrik described as the current >> reality. > > You're deprecating a feature people actually use, so the result is > much worse than the current reality.
