Jon Moore commented on HTTPCLIENT-975:
--------------------------------------
@Mohammed: patch checked in. I moved the acceptance tests from
TestProtocolRecommendations to a new test class called TestRFC5861Compliance,
since I think we want to keep TestProtocolRecommendations to those things
specified in RFC2616.
@Mishu: go for the stale-while-revalidate patch.
> add support to caching module for RFC 5861 (stale-on-error and
> stale-while-revalidate)

> These are Cache-Control extensions that allow an origin server to specify
> some additional behavior for stale cache entries. Stale-on-error
> configurations allow a cache to continue serving stale content for a certain
> period of time if a revalidation fails, and stale-while-revalidate similarly
> allows revalidation to occur asynchronously. Some reverse proxies such as
> Squid can be configured to understand these headers, which means that some
> origin servers are probably sending them, and that we can likewise take
> advantage of them.
