# cachecontrol: HTTP Caching Parser and Interpretation
|
|

|
`cachecontrol` implements [RFC 7234](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234) __Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Caching__. It does this by parsing the `Cache-Control` and other headers, providing information about requests and responses -- but `cachecontrol` does not implement an actual cache backend, just the control plane to make decisions about if a particular response is cachable.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
`cachecontrol.CachableResponse` returns an array of [reasons](https://godoc.org/github.com/pquerna/cachecontrol/cacheobject#Reason) why a response should not be cached and when it expires. In the case that `len(reasons) == 0`, the response is cachable according to the RFC. However, some people want non-compliant caches for various business use cases, so each reason is specifically named, so if your cache wants to cache `POST` requests, it can easily do that, but still be RFC compliant in other situations.
|
|
|
|
# Examples
|
|
|
|
## Can you cache Example.com?
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/pquerna/cachecontrol"
|
|
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"io/ioutil"
|
|
"net/http"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://www.example.com/", nil)
|
|
|
|
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
|
|
_, _ = ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
|
|
|
|
reasons, expires, _ := cachecontrol.CachableResponse(req, res, cachecontrol.Options{})
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println("Reasons to not cache: ", reasons)
|
|
fmt.Println("Expiration: ", expires.String())
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Can I use this in a high performance caching server?
|
|
|
|
`cachecontrol` is divided into two packages: `cachecontrol` with a high level API, and a lower level `cacheobject` package. Use [Object](https://godoc.org/github.com/pquerna/cachecontrol/cacheobject#Object) in a high performance use case where you have previously parsed headers containing dates or would like to avoid memory allocations.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/pquerna/cachecontrol/cacheobject"
|
|
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"io/ioutil"
|
|
"net/http"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://www.example.com/", nil)
|
|
|
|
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
|
|
_, _ = ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
|
|
|
|
reqDir, _ := cacheobject.ParseRequestCacheControl(req.Header.Get("Cache-Control"))
|
|
|
|
resDir, _ := cacheobject.ParseResponseCacheControl(res.Header.Get("Cache-Control"))
|
|
expiresHeader, _ := http.ParseTime(res.Header.Get("Expires"))
|
|
dateHeader, _ := http.ParseTime(res.Header.Get("Date"))
|
|
lastModifiedHeader, _ := http.ParseTime(res.Header.Get("Last-Modified"))
|
|
|
|
obj := cacheobject.Object{
|
|
RespDirectives: resDir,
|
|
RespHeaders: res.Header,
|
|
RespStatusCode: res.StatusCode,
|
|
RespExpiresHeader: expiresHeader,
|
|
RespDateHeader: dateHeader,
|
|
RespLastModifiedHeader: lastModifiedHeader,
|
|
|
|
ReqDirectives: reqDir,
|
|
ReqHeaders: req.Header,
|
|
ReqMethod: req.Method,
|
|
|
|
NowUTC: time.Now().UTC(),
|
|
}
|
|
rv := cacheobject.ObjectResults{}
|
|
|
|
cacheobject.CachableObject(&obj, &rv)
|
|
cacheobject.ExpirationObject(&obj, &rv)
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println("Errors: ", rv.OutErr)
|
|
fmt.Println("Reasons to not cache: ", rv.OutReasons)
|
|
fmt.Println("Warning headers to add: ", rv.OutWarnings)
|
|
fmt.Println("Expiration: ", rv.OutExpirationTime.String())
|
|
}
|
|
```
