The following errata report has been held for document update 
for RFC7540, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2 (HTTP/2)". 

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=7540&eid=4666

--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Vasiliy Faronov <vfaronov@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2016-04-13
Held by: Alexey Melnikov (IESG)

Section: 9.1.2

Original Text
-------------
   A 421 response is cacheable by default, i.e., unless otherwise
   indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls (see
   Section 4.2.2 of [RFC7234]).


Corrected Text
--------------
   [paragraph removed]

Notes
-----
The HTTP cache key (RFC 7234 Section 2) is based on the request URI, not on properties of the connection. Therefore, if a client were to cache a 421 response, it would then use this cached 421 to satisfy further requests to the same URI, before it has a chance to connect to an authoritative server.

Mark Nottingham: As discussed on list, I think the best we can do here is to note that in many cases, it'd be desireable to mark this as explicitly uncacheable.

With this paragraph removed, a 421 response is not cacheable by default, per RFC 7231 Section 6.1.
