How do I implement client side http caching like a browser?
I use a RESTFul service as a backend to my frontend. The service sets expires/etag/lastmodified headers on it's responses. What I'm looking for is a client-side(favorably java) library which can fetch data from the service and cache it in a pluggable caching backend like ehcache. What I also want to be able to do is automatically prime the cache using background worker threads as soon as an entry is invalidated. Also, it should be smart to do conditional GETs. I've come across http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/caching.html Is there any other library anyone knows about
