Jonathan Moore updated HTTPCLIENT-997:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: unconditional-retry-validate.patch

The attached patch addresses this issue. In addition, there were a couple of 
bugs that were fixed:

1. When we get a potentially cacheable response outside of the validation path, 
we likewise MUST check for out-of-order Date headers and not replace existing 
entries with older-dated ones.

2. Client requests with 'no-cache' or 'no-store' were causing invalidation of 
existing cache entries, which is not actually required by the protocol.

This patch is contributed to the ASF with the permission of my employer.


> cache module should handle out-of-order validations properly and 
> unconditionally refresh

> There is a protocol recommendation that when we attempt to revalidate a cache 
> entry, but we receive a response that has a Date header that's actually 
> *older* than that of our current entry, we SHOULD revalidate again 
> unconditionally with either max-age=0 or no-cache (since some upstream cache 
> would appear to be out-of-date).
