Subject: [core] Question about calculation of cache key in RFC 7252

Hello CoRE,

in a recent discussion here:

https://github.com/core-wg/oscoap/issues/51

we have come to the conclusion that RFC 7252 is not totally clear  about 
whether a request payload is supposed be part of a cache-key, and under 
which conditions a proxy can cache responses to requests other than GET.

Carsten even suggested that this might warrant an errata to RFC 7252.

It would be helpful if CoRE could provide some clarifications on that topic.

Regards,

Ludwig
