RE: [minutes] CT Call Tuesday 2 December 2008

I meant

Cache-Control: no-cache

and not

Cache-Control: must-revalidate

Thanks,

    <francois> "SHOULD provide a simple means of retrieving a fresh
    copy"

    rob: if we respect the cache-control: no-cache (or revalidate, or
    whatever) that happens when you do a refresh from the handset menu,
    there's no need to do anything specific re what you put on the
    screen

    rob: The latter doesn't need to be a link on the page, as long as
    cache-control: must-revalidate is observed then there is a simple
    means of retrieving a fresh copy.

    francois: does the use case Rob mentioned (clicking refresh in the
    menu) fit the definition of "something provided by the proxy"?
    ... is this a question of its respecting the simple means provided
    by the browser.

    yes

    edC: Rob said that "the simple means" is "the user clicking a
    refresh on their browser triggers the proxy to refetch the content"

    francois: yes
    ... does the guideline embrace this case? I think so
