CachingHttpClient should be able to cache ResponseHandler responses (or the 
result of some new form of ResponseHandler)

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1090
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1090
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1
         Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.7 + Eclipse Helios SR2
            Reporter: David Waite
            Priority: Minor


When creating a ResponseHandler to parse the response value into a usable java 
object, I notice that the code is executed every time, even if the response 
object is served from cache. It would be nice to have a system where a 
ResponseHandler can be written such that its value is also served from cache. 
This may require a different interface which:
- Exposes just the values which are not altered when served from a cache
- Returns objects which can be cached out of process ( through documentation, 
and having the return type extend Serializable)

Alternatively, if there is a header uniquely identifying a response, a 
WeakHashMap could be used to provide a cache associating a response with a 
created object (although such a cache would not correlate to the HTTP cache in 
terms of retention)
