All,

Looking for clarification of the last-modified HTTP header.

The http header response in section 5 has this example:

-----

      content-type: application/ocsp-response

      content-length: <OCSP response length>

      last-modified: <producedAt [HTTP] date>

      ETag: "<strong validator>"

      expires: <nextUpdate [HTTP] date>

      cache-control: max-age=<n>, public, no-transform, must-revalidate

      date: <current [HTTP] date>

-----

While in section 6.2, last-modified is described as:

-----

This value specifies the date and time at which the

OCSP responder last modified the response.  This date

and time will be the same as the thisUpdate timestamp

in the request itself.

-----

Should it be thisUpdate or producedAt?  Why is the request mentioned here?
Thanks.
