[RFC9211] fwd-status Integer Indicates which status code (see [RFC9110], Section 15) the next-hop server returned in response to the [RFC9211] forwarded request. Indicates the response’s remaining freshness lifetime (see [RFC9111], Section 4.2.1) as calculated by the ttl Integer cache, as an integer number of seconds, measured as closely as possible to when the response header section [RFC9211] is sent by the cache. stored Boolean Indicates whether the cache stored the response (see [RFC9111], Section 3); a true value indicates that it [RFC9211] did. collapsed Boolean Indicates whether this request was collapsed together with one or more other forward requests (see [RFC9211] [RFC9111], Section 4); If true, the response was successfully reused; if not, a new request had to be made. key String Conveys a representation of the cache key (see [RFC9111], Section 2) used for the response. [RFC9211] detail String or Token Allows implementations to convey additional information not captured in other parameters, such as [RFC9211] implementation-specific states or other caching-related metrics.
