Yes. This is a MUST for a proxy cache for as long as the Age header is in
effect, but Bug #7 is quite relevant here.. As we bump the Age header on
a successful revalidation we should have updated the Date, Expires etc
headers.. or at least so in my opinion.. (but the RFC is somewhat dim on
this... probably intentionally)
In accelerators the situation is more dim as the RFC does not apply to
accelerators, only your own definitions of what the accelerator should
do... It is perfectly fine (RFC wise) for an accelerator to substitute
it's own HTTP headers to any level desired.
