[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1361) stale-while-revalidate should
work also without last-modified nor etag
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1361?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13699280#comment-13699280 ]
Francois-Xavier Bonnet commented on HTTPCLIENT-1361:
----------------------------------------------------
I just committed a fix for both:
HTTPCLIENT-1361: stale-while-revalidate should work also without last-modified nor etag
HTTPCLIENT-1368: stale-if-error request cache directive should also apply to non-revalidatable cache entries
I added some unit tests but it was not easy to figure out the impact.
Could someone review?

>
> Currently stale-while-revalidate mechanism works only if the cache entry contains a last-modified or a etag header. It should work also for cache entries with expires or max-age.
> The specification is not very clear about what a revalidation is, but in the example there is no last-modified nor etag, only a cache-control: max-age
> http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5861
> If everybody agrees, I can work on a fix.
