'''Hypertext Caching Protocol''' (abbreviated to '''HTCP''') is used for discovering [[HTTP]] caches and cached data, managing sets of HTTP caches and monitoring cache activity. It permits full request and response headers to be used in cache management and expands the ___domain of cache management to include monitoring a remote cache's additions and deletions, requesting immediate deletions and sending hints about web objects such as the third party locations of cacheable objects or unavailability of web objects.<ref name="Gourley2002">{{cite book |last1=Gourley |first1=David |last2=Totty |first2=Brian |last3=Sayer |first3=Marjorie |last4=Reddy |first4=Sailu |last5=Aggarwal |first5=Anshu |title=HTTP: the definitive guide |date=2002 |publisher=O'Reilly |___location=United States of America |isbn=9781565925090 |edition=First |url=https://www.academia.edu/37865720/_WEB_HTTP_The_Definitive_Guide_ |access-date=30 December 2023}}</ref>
