httpcache

This is a Bindl fork of gregjones/httpcache with minimal dependencies by removing in-tree cache backends, except for diskcache. Consider using the upstream project directly should you desire to use other in-tree backends.

Package httpcache provides a http.RoundTripper implementation that works as a mostly RFC 7234 compliant cache for http responses.

It is only suitable for use as a 'private' cache (i.e. for a web-browser or an API-client and not for a shared proxy).

Cache Backends

• The built-in 'memory' cache stores responses in an in-memory map.
• sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph/s3cache uses Amazon S3 for storage.
• github.com/die-net/lrucache provides an in-memory cache that will evict least-recently used entries.
• github.com/die-net/lrucache/twotier allows caches to be combined, for example to use lrucache above with a persistent disk-cache.
• github.com/birkelund/boltdbcache provides a BoltDB implementation (based on the bbolt fork).

If you implement any other backend and wish it to be linked here, please send a PR editing this file.
