Reading the issue list, I am not sure what the proposed change for the
CACHE-DIRECTIVE issue is.
The link, under Proposed Solution, is to
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/HTTP/Issues/cachedirective.txt
Unfortunately, nobody has gotten around to editing that message to
reflect what the editorial group decided:
change the grammar for
cache-request-directive =
"no-cache" [ "=" <"> 1#field-name <"> ]
to
cache-request-directive =
"no-cache"
This same email message is being used as the problem statement for
CLARIFY-NOCACHE:
Also, the meaning of no-cache="field-name" in a response probably
needs to be made more explicit.
I'm the responsible party for drafting the clarification, but this
being postponed while we are working on proposals for substantive changes.
