A Transport for Go's http.Client that will cache responses according to the HTTP RFC

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).

Cache backends

• The built-in 'memory' cache stores responses in an in-memory map.
• github.com/gregjones/httpcache/diskcache provides a filesystem-backed cache using the diskv library.
• github.com/gregjones/httpcache/memcache provides memcache implementations, for both App Engine and 'normal' memcache servers.
• sourcegraph.com/sourcegraph/s3cache uses Amazon S3 for storage.
• github.com/gregjones/httpcache/leveldbcache provides a filesystem-backed cache using leveldb.
• 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.
