The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7231,
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5541

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Danil Suits <rfc7231@vocumsineratio.com>

Section: 4.3.5

Original Text
-------------
If a DELETE
   request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses
   for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be
   invalidated

Corrected Text
--------------
If a successful DELETE
   request passes through a cache that has one or more stored responses
   for the effective request URI, those stored responses will be
   invalidated

Notes
-----
RFC 7234 4.4 describes the semantics of cache invalidation for successful requests (non-error status code), but does not describe semantics for unsuccessful requests.  The corrected text parallels the construction in section 4.3.4 ("If a successful PUT request...").

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
