/**

 * transparent client-side caching. The current implementation is conditionally
 * compliant with HTTP/1.1 (meaning all the MUST and MUST NOTs are obeyed),
 * although quite a lot, though not all, of the SHOULDs and SHOULD NOTs
 * are obeyed too.
 * <p/>
 * Folks that would like to experiment with alternative storage backends
 * should look at the {@link HttpCacheStorage} interface and the related
 * package documentation there. You may also be interested in the provided
 * {@link org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.ehcache.EhcacheHttpCacheStorage
 * EhCache} and {@link
 * org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.memcached.MemcachedHttpCacheStorage
 * memcached} storage backends.
 * <p/>
 * Further responsibilities such as communication with the opposite
 * endpoint is delegated to the next executor in the request execution
 * chain.
