httpcache

Build Status GoDoc

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).

This project isn't actively maintained; it works for what I, and seemingly others, want to do with it, and I consider it "done". That said, if you find any issues, please open a Pull Request and I will try to review it. Any changes now that change the public API won't be considered.

Cache Backends

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

# Functions

CachedResponse returns the cached http.Response for req if present, and nil otherwise.
Date parses and returns the value of the Date header.
NewMemoryCache returns a new Cache that will store items in an in-memory map.
NewMemoryCacheTransport returns a new Transport using the in-memory cache implementation.
NewTransport returns a new Transport with the provided Cache implementation and MarkCachedResponses set to true.

# Constants

XFromCache is the header added to responses that are returned from the cache.

# Variables

ErrNoDateHeader indicates that the HTTP headers contained no Date header.

# Structs

MemoryCache is an implemtation of Cache that stores responses in an in-memory map.
Transport is an implementation of http.RoundTripper that will return values from a cache where possible (avoiding a network request) and will additionally add validators (etag/if-modified-since) to repeated requests allowing servers to return 304 / Not Modified.

# Interfaces

A Cache interface is used by the Transport to store and retrieve responses.
