Mike Youngstrom commented on HTTPCLIENT-427:
--------------------------------------------

This would be extremely useful in the case of restful service calls.  If http 
client could emulate a browsers caching logic and then expose an api that that 
will allow developers to plug this logic into their system's caching solution 
that would be awesome!!!!!  I've looked around and couldn't find any other http 
library that offers such functionality.  Client side caching could mark a big 
reason for frameworks such as CXF and Spring RestTemplate (provides Commons 
Http Client) to add Http Components as an optional client.

This isn't really a case of HttpClient trying to be a browser.  It's a case for 
HttpClient to taking advantage of standard http headers to provide a well 
understood caching model.

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