I think my terminology is wrong then in that case because that is basically the model I am looking for. By negotiation, I'd simply meant the process of a server requesting a cache storage allocation from the UA. I'm personally less keen on the heuristic idea from a standard protocol perspective. I do think it's a good idea though, and definitely something UAs could develop and optimise as part of their on-going performance arms-race :) Really, I would just like a standard way to use an HTTP response to challenge the UA, which can then ask its user to grant or reject a cache storage quota.

Wherever possible, though, the browser should probably use a heuristic, to keep it simple (From a UX perspective). > > Cheers, > > > On 15/12/2011, at 9:38 AM, Mike Kelly wrote: > >> Nice one thanks Mark, +1 to all of that post >> >> What do you think about handling the negotiation via HTTP? >> >> Cheers, >> Mike >> >> On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 10:25 PM, Mark Nottingham <mnot@mnot.net> wrote: >>> Some thoughts along vaguely similar lines - >>> >>> http://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/08/28/better_browser_caching >>> >>> Cheers, >>> >>> >>> On 15/12/2011, at 7:16 AM, Mike Kelly wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> Is anyone aware of any proposals that extend HTTP to allow servers and >>>> clients to negotiate client-side storage allocation for client-side >>>> (private) caches? >>>> >>>> Basically, I'm looking for a way for a server to indicate how much >>>> storage should be allocated for caching responses from a particular >>>> domain name, and possibly also for the client to be able to indicate >>>> how much allocation was actually possible. >>>> >>>> Aside from that, if you have any thoughts on whether or not this is >>>> really feasible or is just a plain bad idea - please let me know >>>> >>>> Thanks, >>>> Mike >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> Mark Nottingham >>> http://www.mnot.net/ >>> >>> >>> >>> > > -- > Mark Nottingham > http://www.mnot.net/ > > > >
