-----------------------------------------

             Summary: ResponseCachingPolicy::isExplicitlyCacheable does not 
account for "must-revalidate"
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2354
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.4.1
            Reporter: Skylar Sutton


Using httpclient5-cache:5.4.1, backed by an EH Cache with the following config:
 * maxCacheEntries: Integer.MAX
 * maxObjectSize: Integer.MAX
 * sharedCache: false


Execute a call against a resource with a query string (ex: "/foo?q=bar") which 
returns the following CacheControl:
{code:java}
Cache-Control: "must-revalidate, max-age=0" {code}

The Apache Client will fail to cache the resource, specifically because of this 
check in ResponseCachingPolicy::isResponseCachable:


{code:java}
if (!this.neverCache1_1ResponsesWithQueryString && 
!this.isExplicitlyCacheable(cacheControl, response)) {
    LOG.debug("Response is not cacheable as it is missing explicit caching 
headers");
    return false;
} {code}

More specifically, ResponseCachingPolicy::isExplicitlyCachable does not contain 
any logic to handle the +*"must-revalidate"*+ directive. 

Per this documentation, "public" is not required if "must-revalidate" is 
provided: 
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control]

??"If a request doesn't have an {{Authorization}} header, or you are already 
using {{s-maxage}} {*}or {{must-revalidate}} in the response, then you don't 
need to use {{public}}{*}."??
