Agreed - the response isn't a pure replay, as you indicated later,
either. So the cache:
- stores responses to earlier requests
(it has to be a response, not a resource or anything else.
a response is all the cache sees at this point)
- look for incoming requests for which it can use
stored data to generate an appropriate response
- (define appropriate however you like - it's
whatever the cache _wants_ to send in response
to the new request)
- generate that response in deference to forwarding the
request, if so indicated
