I'm wondering if Vary:Cookie should cause cache to be invalidated when cookie changes.

As far as I understand RFC, sending Vary:Cookie should inform browser that it can cache copy of page only for practicular value of Cookie header, so if any page later changes site-wide cookie, browser shouldn't use cached copies any more for any resource that has been sent with Vary:Cookie.

Is that correct?


I've prepared test-case for this:
http://87.230.0.83/cache/index.php

but no browser I know seems to support this. They either don't use cached copy when Vary is present or ignore change of cookie and use cached content generated for different value of Cookie header.
