From 2b2d4207d921cd7aa5e70bd296bbe9d18af501a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Wright Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 16:44:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: invalidate Location and Content-Location URIs on unsafe methods CacheHandler.onResponseStart only deleted the request URI's cache entry on a successful (2xx/3xx) response to an unsafe method. RFC 9111 section 4.4 also says caches SHOULD invalidate the URIs in the response's Location and Content-Location header fields when they share the request URI's origin, so the classic "POST /collection -> 201 Location: /collection/123" flow left a previously cached "GET /collection/123" stale. Repro (before): cache GET /target; POST /src returning "Location: /target"; GET /target again is served from cache (1 origin hit). After: the second GET /target is refetched (2 origin hits). Only same-origin URIs are invalidated, per the RFC's security note. This also turns the eight invalidate-{POST,PUT,DELETE,M-SEARCH}-{location,cl} tests of the mnot cache-tests conformance suite from failed-optional into passing in every test environment (220 -> 228 passed, 58 -> 50 failed-optional, 0 required failures).
