Although caching is an entirely <em class="bcp14">OPTIONAL</em> feature of HTTP, we assume that reusing the cached response is desirable and that such reuse is the default behavior when
     761         no requirement or locally-desired configuration prevents it. Therefore, HTTP cache requirements are focused on preventing
     762         a cache from either storing a non-reusable response or reusing a stored response inappropriately.

     765         form of cache entry is a successful result of a retrieval request: i.e., a 200 (OK) response containing a representation of
     766         the resource identified by the request target. However, it is also possible to cache negative results (e.g., 404 not found),
     767         incomplete results (e.g., 206 partial content), and responses to safe methods other than GET if the method's definition allows
     768         such caching and defines something suitable for use as a cache key.
