Respect HTTP Cache headers

At the moment we simply cache everything coming from a server, and only expire this when refresh is called. I’m not 100% certain if this is the right way to go about things.

It’s worth researching this a bit better.

Yeah, it has a bunch of issues… off the top of my head:

1. No way to programmatically expire
2. No support for Link: <..>; rel="invalidates" which is really just a variant of 1.
3. No way to store things in the cache for embedded items, PUT
4. No support for Prefer: return=representation
5. Can’t trigger event handlers like the ‘stale’ and ‘update’ events.

So that approach works, but only really if you’re using a simpler subset of ketting’s features.

Thanks for the link. Looks like that could do a lot of the heavy lifting that I didn’t feel like doing 😄
