Hi y'all- REST defines the component types user agent, intermediary (proxy and gateway) and origin server. User agents hold application state Origin servers hold any state that is not application state Do intermediaries hold state? Is it possible that they do? Or is that ruled out by definition? Would an origin server turn partially into an origin server once it did hold state? Can cached responses be considered 'state' from a software architectural style theory point of view? Jan
