[webkit-dev] http cache support - rfc2616

[Darin Fisher]

How much RFC 2616 logic is really needed at that layer?  Mozilla's memory
cache simply issues the equivalent of an "if-modified-since" request of the
underlying HTTP cache when the resource's expiration time has passed.  Does
WebCore's memory cache really need do to anything more?
Given that ResourceResponse already has an expiration time field, maybe all
that is needed is a way to make a pseudo "if-modified-since" style request
via ResourceHandle?
