Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-427:
----------------------------------------------

Avlesh,

This is how I _personally_ think this issue should be addressed :

(1) Firstly, one needs to define an abstract API for storing and retrieving 
content from an abstract cache. A single interface HttpCache (or some such) is 
likely to be sufficient.

(2) Different implementations of the said caching API should be possible. The 
default one can be very simple just backed by a HashMap instance. For a more 
sophisticated implementation I would recommend using ehcache [1]

(3) The caching logic should be implemented as a decorator for the HttpClient 
interface [2]. It should be possible to take any arbitrary instance of 
HttpClient and enhance it with caching capabilities.

> Browsers may cache received content according to the values of different
> response headers. It would be great if HttpClient could do the same.
