Re: Known Problems Draft - Cache-Control absence for Network Transparent Proxies

Hi,

Is it reasonable to ask about reverse proxies (or accelerators) in this
case? They would work similarly as transparent caches with respect to the
client behaviour.

Clients are not aware of using a reverse proxy (or web accelerator) and
thus they may not send caching related headers which may influence the
object in the response. In this way reverse proxies can enforce their own
expiration model instead of the client's own rules.
