    4354       A program's local store of response messages and the subsystem
    4355       that controls its message storage, retrieval, and deletion. A
    4356       cache stores cacheable responses in order to reduce the response
    4357       time and network bandwidth consumption on future, equivalent
    4358       requests. Any client or server may include a cache, though a cache
    4359       cannot be used by a server that is acting as a tunnel.

    4368       A response is cacheable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of
    4369       the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The
    4370       rules for determining the cacheability of HTTP responses are
    4371       defined in &caching;. Even if a resource is cacheable, there may
    4372       be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached
    4373       copy for a particular request.

     4382      The client which initiates a request. These are often browsers,
     4383      editors, spiders (web-traversing robots), or other end user tools.

     4393      associated with it at any given instant. Each of these

     4395      does not necessarily imply that the resource is subject to content
     4396      negotiation.
