Improve "cacheability" understanding #46

Open na-- opened 9 years ago

na-- commented 9 years ago

Implement a fully featured, RFC 7234 compliant comprehension of HTTP requests and responses. This way, we can know which requests can receive cached responses and which upstream responses can be cached for future requests.

Some libs which could be helpful:

https://github.com/pquerna/cachecontrol
https://github.com/lox/httpcache (especially the spec tests)

We might have to consider RFC 5861 and some parts of RFC 7231 as well...

Certainly! But one at a time. My guess is that trying to support everything related to caching is pretty much lost battle. We'll have to pick a feature (header) to support and implement it. Next one after that and do it incrementally.
