/*

Tests the Cache-control: stale-while-revalidate response directive.

Purpose is to check we DON'T perform the background revalidation when we make the
request past the reval window.

* Make request #1.
  - response is from the server and version=1
  - max-age=1, stale-while-revalidate=1
* Switch version of the data on the server.
* Make request #2 in 3 seconds (entry should be expired by that time and no longer
  fall into the reval window.)
  - response is from the server, version=2
* Done.
