Commenter is not clear what the current text means - * Section 4.1.2 "If the request contains a Cache-Control: no-transform directive proxies must forward the request unaltered to the server, other than to comply with transparent HTTP behaviour and as noted below." I'm not sure what this sentence means. I've change the comment from substantive to editorial, since clarity is an editorial issue. The current text makes reference to section 4.1.6 (of the CT Doc) which is about adding via headers and the like. The text would probably read better if it made reference to sections 13.5.2 and 14.9.5 of HTTP http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-13.5.2 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.9.5 respectively. Along the lines of "If the request contains a Cache-Control: no-transform directive proxies must follow HTTP sections 14.9.5 and 13.5.2." Which is no more than saying that HTTP proxies should follow HTTP - but which in turn might be confusing since 13.5.2 doesn't refer exclusively to the treatment of no-transform, and one might wonder why we don't reference it in other circumstances too. [fwiw the reason originally was to point out specifically that no-transform can occur in requests as well as responses] Jo
