httpcache
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
- The built-in 'memory' cache stores responses in an in-memory map.

Overview ¶
Package httpcache provides a http.RoundTripper implementation that works as a mostly RFC-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).
Index ¶
Constants ¶
const (
// XFromCache is the header added to responses that are returned from the cache
XFromCache = "X-From-Cache"
)
Variables ¶
var ErrNoDateHeader = errors.New("no Date header")
ErrNoDateHeader indicates that the HTTP headers contained no Date header.
Functions ¶
func CachedResponse ¶
CachedResponse returns the cached http.Response for req if present, and nil otherwise.
Types ¶
type Cache ¶
type Cache interface {
// Get returns the []byte representation of a cached response and a bool
// set to true if the value isn't empty
Get(key string) (responseBytes []byte, ok bool)
// Set stores the []byte representation of a response against a key
Set(key string, responseBytes []byte)
// Delete removes the value associated with the key
Delete(key string)
}
A Cache interface is used by the Transport to store and retrieve responses.
type MemoryCache ¶
type MemoryCache struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
MemoryCache is an implemtation of Cache that stores responses in an in-memory map.
func NewMemoryCache ¶
func NewMemoryCache() *MemoryCache
NewMemoryCache returns a new Cache that will store items in an in-memory map
func (*MemoryCache) Delete ¶
func (c *MemoryCache) Delete(key string)
Delete removes key from the cache
func (*MemoryCache) Get ¶
func (c *MemoryCache) Get(key string) (resp []byte, ok bool)
Get returns the []byte representation of the response and true if present, false if not
func (*MemoryCache) Set ¶
func (c *MemoryCache) Set(key string, resp []byte)
Set saves response resp to the cache with key
type Transport ¶
type Transport struct {
// The RoundTripper interface actually used to make requests
// If nil, http.DefaultTransport is used
Transport http.RoundTripper
Cache Cache
// If true, responses returned from the cache will be given an extra header, X-From-Cache
MarkCachedResponses bool
}
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
func NewMemoryCacheTransport ¶
func NewMemoryCacheTransport() *Transport
NewMemoryCacheTransport returns a new Transport using the in-memory cache implementation
func NewTransport ¶
NewTransport returns a new Transport with the provided Cache implementation and MarkCachedResponses set to true
func (*Transport) RoundTrip ¶
RoundTrip takes a Request and returns a Response
If there is a fresh Response already in cache, then it will be returned without connecting to the server.
If there is a stale Response, then any validators it contains will be set on the new request to give the server a chance to respond with NotModified. If this happens, then the cached Response will be returned.
