<img> "list of available images" and HTTP cache semantics
The "list of available images" seems to always be used even the resource
doesn't allow caching according to HTTP. I guess the spec allows items in the
cache to be removed at any time, so a UA could choose to remove items
according to HTTP cache semantics, but it would be better to be explicit if
that's what we want to happen.

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-05-21 20:22:33 UTC
What do browsers do? I would imagine they ignore HTTP caching headers entirely here.
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2014-06-16 10:50:48 UTC
Specify how 'list of available images' and HTTP cache interact.
