I’ve dug around several articles today on HTTP/2 caching, and I can’t find this level of detail in any of them. I’m not sure if my server setup is at fault, if the browsers are at fault, or if this just isn’t how it’s meant to work.

Hi Felipe,

Does the pushed response include the etag:"hahaha" header field, and
all the other cache-control stuff?  I would imagine that that's more
important to the browser than whatever was in the virtual request
(although I'm not a browser person, so I can't say for sure.)
