Francois-Xavier Bonnet commented on HTTPCLIENT-1515:
----------------------------------------------------
Personally I don't like very much this approach. In order to be consistent with
the specification I think there should be only 1 cache entry for 1 URI that may
contain or not an entity. The cache entries with an entity can be used to
answer GET and HEAD requests, the cache entries without an entity (created
because of a HEAD request) could be used only for HEAD requests.
But this will probably more complex to implement.
