CachingHttpclient cannot ignore "Cache-Control: no-cache" header
I am using ApacheHttpClient caching to request REST APIs from Java code.
I want to cache some HTTP response despite receiving the "Cache-Control: no-cache" header, which causes the caching of the HttpClient to not cache the file.
With a standalone HTTP proxy like squid, mod_cache ..., I could tweak the config to ignore these headers and override the default behavior.
I would rather not look for a standalone http proxy, but rather use 100% Java code.
- is there another http client that will offer more control over caching?
- Is it possible to implement a middleware / proxy that will rewrite the headers?
- Can I fix HttpClient caching via inheritance?
