HTTP caching

php.internals

Hello all,

I couldn't find if this is already implemented somehow. But I thought it
would be a nice idea to let the PHP http streams understand HTTP
caching. This could come in particularly handy when PHP is used to
consume REST-based webservices. (Perhaps in the future also for SOAP 1.2
GET requests.) People could simply take control of caching by setting
the Expires header of their service.

Cheers,

Bart

For what it's worth, this would be very nice.  I always use my own
custom HTTP handling for this reason (and related reasons, such as
keep-alive.)

However, it's also very complicated; the cached data has to be managed,
has to be stored somewhere... and at what point do you add cookie
management?
