ISSUE-196: Cacheing and mobileOK Checkers

Cacheing and mobileOK Checkers

State:
CLOSED
Product:
mobileOK Basic tests
Raised by:
Jo Rabin
Opened on:
2007-04-18
Description:
Where a resource makes multiple references to the same URI, a checker should not
retrieve the URI multiple times but should re-request the (e.g.) image only if
the cahce header information on the original request requires it to do so.

Should there be a note on this in mobileOK - cf a note that checkers should
observe caching headers on included resources?

Should there be a note that tests are idempotent - i.e. that if you test two
different resources that include the same resource then at least one request is
made per test - i.e. cacheing of resources is local to a test instance?

Should there be a clarification under caching that this refers also to included
resources and to linked resources - i.e. if cache headers are not present on
style sheets, images etc. then a warn is thrown? And what about linked
resources?
