Subject: FYI: Update on cache tests

Hi everybody,

As I mentioned on the call last night (my time, at least), I've been updating my HTTP caching tests:
  https://cache-tests.fyi

Please note that these are *not* official in any way, and may not reflect an implementation's true behaviour, or just be flat out wrong. They will no doubt continue to change.

I'm using them mostly to assure that the revision of the caching spec is reality based, and to that end I hacked together a version of the spec HTML that lets you view the tests associated with sections of a spec side-by-side:
  https://cache-tests.fyi/spec/cache.html
(click on the 'i' symbol on a section header, and make sure your browser window is wide)

As always, help with the test suite is welcome, whether that's new tests, code reviews or other feedback. If you'd like your cache implementation to be tested, please get in touch -- the more data we have, the better.

Cheers,
