caching and streams
Here's something I just thought about a bit. What should a caching HTTP
proxy do in the case of an "infinitely long" HTTP GET? As in an
encapsulated media stream.
Buffering some predetermined amount (to be delivered in case the origin
server is down) looks like a solution technically, but I'm not sure
about legally at this point.
