Re: no-transform & Warning

I would say, this is a requirement on the HTTP proxy servers rather than the
OPES/Callout protocol.

(a) Cache-Control: An implementation of the icap client module in the HTTP
proxy server (say squid) would have to just check for the Cache-Control
header before sending it to the ICAP server for a transformation
(reqmod/respmod). - Section 14.9.5 of RFC 2616 HTTP 1.1
(b) Warning 214: Along the same lines, the Warning header is required to be
inserted by the HTTP 1.1 complaint proxy server. ( as per section 14.46 of
RFC 2616)

Did I miss something?

Hm, this assumes that the payload (irk Nottingham wrote:

These mechani.e. the content-path protocol) is
NOT transparent to the OPES/Callout protocol, i.e. the OPES/Callout
protocol needs to have knowledge about the sematics of the
encapsulated application protocol (HTTP in this case).

Do we want to make this assumption? Comments?

Just curious,

Is anyone aware of an OPES, ICAP or other transcoding implementation
that:

a) honors Cache-Control: no-transform
b) honors Warning: 214 Transformation applied

in either requests or responses?
