A developer proposes skipping the OAuth token request because a fresh cached Cisco device list is still within max-age. Which statement is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A leftover cafeteria tray in the fridge is not a new meal ticket. Reusing a fresh GET saves origin load; it does not mint tokens or skip the grant. Caching and authorization stay separate jobs.
Full Explanation
HTTP cache controls reduce origin load by reusing fresh GET representations. They do not authorize callers or replace OAuth2 token issuance. Confusing cache freshness with the authorization-code grant—or with load-balancer responsibilities—mixes separate DEVCOR concerns.
