<p>The <code>vary</code> HTTP response header determines how to match future request
headers to decide whether a cached response can be used rather than
requesting a fresh one from the origin server. It is used by the server
to indicate which headers it used when selecting a representation of a
resource in a content negotiation algorithm.</p>
<p>The <code>vary</code> header should be set on a 304 Not Modified response exactly
like it would have been set on an equivalent 200 OK response.</p>
