 It generally means the response can't be used any more without revalidation with the server. However, there are exceptions, e.g. client can explicitly allow stale responses. A fresh response still may not be used if other conditions—such as `Vary`—are not satisfied.
 
+### `cacheKey()`

+Returns a string that is a combination of method, URL, and headers selected with `Vary`.
+
+Note that `Vary: *` never matches any request, so matching of cache keys alone is not sufficient to satisfy a request.

 ## Unimplemented
 
-* `Vary` support is as lame and incomplete as in web browsers
 * No support for revalidation and stale responses
