RE: short-time client side caching and clock skew

I thought #29 was already in -09, due to the comments of the report. It
appears that isn't so, so re-done, incorporating #29 / -latest would be:


response_delay = response_time - request_time;
corrected_age_value = age_value + response_delay;
if (reponse_version_1_1 && !response_via_1_0) {
	corrected_initial_age = corrected_age_value;
} else {
	apparent_age = max(0, response_time - date_value);
	corrected_initial_age = max(apparent_age, corrected_age_value);
}	
resident_time = now - response_time;
current_age = corrected_initial_age + resident_time;


Interesting to see that this issue was raised before. Hopefully it will
finally be resolved.

Thanks,
Jorrit

If you're going to suggest replacement text, please incorporate the changes
in -latest (if you haven't already); see
