+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] support http header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' for soft
+ failure
+
+By setting the HTTP header 'Cache-Control: no-cache' when returning with
+the status code 404 (not found) the server can indicate that this is a
+soft failure. No error message is shown, and server's error count is
+not increased.
+
+This can be used by servers that are not expected to be complete, for
+example when serving a local cache [0]. In nginx this can be achived by
+adding a single directive in location block:
+
+ add_header Cache-Control "no-cache";
+
+Also this is a perfect match for pacredir [1].

-Subject: [PATCH] support http header to indicate an expected failure
-
-By setting an extra HTTP header 'X-Pacman-Expected-Failure' the server can
-indicate that the failure is expected. The next server is tried without
-error message and without increasing the server's error count.
-
-This can be used by servers that are not expected to be complete, for
-example when serving a local cache.
