The immutable HTTP response Cache-Control extension allows servers to
identify resources that will not be updated during their freshness
lifetime. This ensures that a client never needs to revalidate a
cached fresh resource to be certain it has not been modified.
This document is a product of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Bis Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
