Request Line - Cache Validator Skips the Body

The toy request asks for a cached image resource.

highlighted = computed this step

The request asks for a resource

The request line gives the method, path, and version. The path is /logo.png.

\text{path}=\text{/logo.png}

The method asks the server to return the resource if the cached copy is stale.

\text{method}=\text{GET}

The Host header is still present, so the request names the site and the path separately.

\text{Host}=\text{static.example}

The request line and Host header identify the cached resource being checked.
