 I agree. My impression was that it's pretty specific to their requirements,
 not a good general solution.

Well, I'm all ears about a slightly more flexible solution. I mean,
this is an X-* header; we could simply document it as a Squid specific
feature once a few basic concerns have been addressed, and leave
nutting out the right solution to the IETF group. :)

I am a bit uneasy about adding features known to be flawed in design.
Once the header format is added it becomes hard to change.

Sorry, don't remember the details right now what was flawed. See

X-Vary-Options support

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

I've got a small contract to get Squid going in front of a small group
of Mediawiki servers and one of the things which needs adding is the
X-Vary-Options support.

So is there any reason whatsoever that it can't be committed to
Squid-2.HEAD as-is, and at least backported (but not committed to
start with) to squid-2.7?

I remember the Wiki guys' issues wrt Variant purging, which I'm hoping
Y! and Benno have sorted out, and I'm not looking to commit anything
relating to that now - just the X-Vary-Options support.

Thanks,


Adrian
