add support to caching module for RFC 5861 (stale-on-error and 
stale-while-revalidate)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-975
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-975
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Cache
            Reporter: Jonathan Moore


These are Cache-Control extensions that allow an origin server to specify some 
additional behavior for stale cache entries. Stale-on-error configurations 
allow a cache to continue serving stale content for a certain period of time if 
a revalidation fails, and stale-while-revalidate similarly allows revalidation 
to occur asynchronously. Some reverse proxies such as Squid can be configured 
to understand these headers, which means that some origin servers are probably 
sending them, and that we can likewise take advantage of them.
