update_column was suggested as replacement of update_attribute at the
last release of 3-2-stable, so deprecating it now will confuse the

Refactor ActionDispatch::Http::Cache::Response#cache_control_headers

responses.

Processing controller actions in a separate thread allows us to work

then block until the first bytes are written.  As soon as the first
bytes are written, the main thread can return the status, headers, and
(essentially) a queue for the body.

This require makes the dependency even more clear.
In particular we are eager loading the session

outside Rails, this patch is preliminary work
