this is really http, not whatever the heck wrec is (I just said that
to get the rhyme in.), but the server should add the
Vary: User-Agent
header to the 1.1 response.. A 1.1 cache knows that only future
requests with the same user-agent header (and/or any other header(s)
listed in the vary response header) as the request that generated the
cached response may be satisified by that cached response. (subject to
the other normal freshness rules of course.)
