The IESG has approved the following document: - 'HTTP Caching' (draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-19.txt) as Internet Standard This document is the product of the HTTP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-cache/ Technical Summary This document defines HTTP caches and the associated header fields that control cache behavior or indicate cacheable response messages. Working Group Summary This document was primarily driven by the editors. A non-trivial amount of work was involved in updating and refining documents (RFC 723x) that were already in a good state. Working group engagement was good, though lighter for this document than others. Document Quality This is a very widely implemented protocol. As this is a revision, with only minor changes, the usual review procedures do not apply to the document. The main improvements here are to validate aspects of the protocol documentation based on what has been deployed. Changes are largely the result of extensive testing (see https://cache-tests.fyi/ for details), which validated many unchanged portions and justified the small number of changes that were included. Personnel Martin Thomson is shepherd; Francesca Palombini is area director.
