Michajlo Matijkiw updated HTTPCLIENT-1003:
------------------------------------------
Attachment: add_304s.patch
This patch adds the functionality to return 304s in response to conditional
requests.
CachingHttpClient now decides whether or not to return a 304 based on whether
or not a conditional request was made and the present cache entry is valid.
HttpCache#updateCacheEntry() is changed to return a HttpCacheEntry instead of a
HttpResponse. This approach seemed more natural, and allowed the logic for
deciding if a 304 should be returned to be contained within CachingHttpClient,
instead of straddling multiple classes. It also allows conditional request
logic to be independent of HttpCache implementation. The tests were updated to
reflect this change.
The logic for conditional requests was updated in
CachedResponseSuitabilityChecker to detect more supported conditional requests
and whether or not they pass. These were made public so they could be used to
check against an updated cache entry from revalidation.
CachedHttpResponseGenerator#generateNotModifiedResponse() was created to
generate 304 responses from cache entries. generateResponse() was also
modified to skip the check if the cache entry is a 304 since 304's are not
cached in the module.\
Unit tests were added to verify the new functionality. Also, I attempted to
add some documentation to reflect public facing changes.
This patch was created by myself and Mohammed Azeem Uddin and is submitted with
the permission of my employer.
Please let me know if there is anything that should be changed.
Thank you,
Michajlo
