Yes, so we should track it but I don’t think it rises to the level of an errata on its own. > On Feb 19, 2015, at 6:47 PM, Brian Campbell <bcampbell@pingidentity.com> wrote: > > Examples in RFC 6750 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750> and RFC 6749 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749> as well as some normative text in section 5.1 of RFC 6749 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-5.1> use a "Pragma: no-cache" HTTP response header.
