ability to force caching disregarding UA/server header #52

Closed drzraf closed 9 years ago

drzraf commented 9 years ago

In some case (broken or misconfigured server, or for testing purposes) it's pretty useful to force caching disregarding HTTP headers. This is clearly off-standard but useful too. Filtering by mime-type or server-URL pattern would be a great bonus.

An example: user-agent send a request (with keep-alive) server replies:

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Etag: <buggy-etag>
Expire: <in the past>

Such requests won't be cached by polipo (relaxTransparency = true, mindlesslyCacheVary = true, cacheIsShared = false)
