Description

One interpretation of RFC 2616 allows the proxy to serve hits when

the request contains "Cache-Control: no-store". Do you think such an interpretation is valid?

no-store

The purpose of the no-store directive is to prevent the inadvertent release or retention of sensitive information (for example, on backup tapes). The no-store directive applies to the entire message, and MAY be sent either in a response or in a request. If sent in a request, a cache MUST NOT store any part of either this request or any response to it.
