Though this document describes multiple origins, this is only for operational convenience. Only
a request made to an origin (over an authenticated connection) can be used to acquire this
resource for that origin. Thus in the example, the request to `http://example.com` cannot be
assumed to also provide an http-opportunistic response for `http://www.example.com`.


## Interaction with "https" URIs

This document does not define semantics for "http-opportunistic" resources on an `https` origin,
nor does it define semantics if the resource includes `https` origins.

Any strongly authenticated alternative service can provide this response. That is, as long as
the http-opportunistic response is valid, any authenticated alternative service can be used for
that origin.

Clients that use cached http-opportunistic responses MUST ensure that their cache is cleared of
any responses that were acquired over an unauthenticated connection. Revalidating an
unauthenticated response using an authenticated connection does not ensure the integrity of the
response.
