Abstract:
The 'Key' header field for HTTP responses allows an origin server to
describe the cache key for a negotiated response: a short algorithm
that can be used upon later requests to determine if the same
response is reusable.
Key has the advantage of avoiding an additional round trip for
validation whenever a new request differs slightly, but not
significantly, from prior requests.
Key also informs user agents of the request characteristics that
might result in different content, which can be useful if the user
agent is not sending Accept* fields in order to reduce the risk of
fingerprinting.
