    Thanks Owen!<br>
    <br>
    We considered all the options on these 2 documents but, on our
    environment in which is important to use stale-while-revalidate, all
    of them have, at least, one of these drawbacks: or it adds a layer
    in the fast path to the content or it can't guarantee that one
    request on a stale content will force the invalidation off all the
    copies of this object.<br>
    <br>
    That is the reason for which we are looking for a "background"
    alternative to update the content.<br>
    <br>
    Many thanks in any case,<br>
    <br>
