Should we return cached Date: header to UA ?
--------------------------------------------
Key: TS-483
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-483
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP
Reporter: Leif Hedstrom
Fix For: 2.3.0
Right now, we cache the Date: header from the origin server, and upon cache
hits, we return this cached Date: header to the UA as well. It seems most proxy
caches will return the current date from the server itself as the Date: header.
I'm suggesting we make it configurable (records.config) to send either the
current proxy server date as the Date: header, or the cached Date: header.
This could obviously be done as a plugin, but I think it'd be a useful built-in
feature to have. I remember Souders complained about the fact that we use the
cached Date: header, but that the RFC was unspecified in this regard (maybe the
BIS will address this).
