Mike Youngstrom commented on HTTPCLIENT-427:
--------------------------------------------
This would be extremely useful in the case of restful service calls. If http
client could emulate a browsers caching logic and then expose an api that that
will allow developers to plug this logic into their system's caching solution
that would be awesome!!!!! I've looked around and couldn't find any other http
library that offers such functionality. Client side caching could mark a big
reason for frameworks such as CXF and Spring RestTemplate (provides Commons
Http Client) to add Http Components as an optional client.
This isn't really a case of HttpClient trying to be a browser. It's a case for
HttpClient to taking advantage of standard http headers to provide a well
understood caching model.
