/**
 * Caches HTTP and HTTPS responses to the filesystem so they may be reused,
 * saving time and bandwidth. This class supports {@link HttpURLConnection} and
 * {@link HttpsURLConnection}; there is no platform-provided cache for {@link
 * DefaultHttpClient} or {@link AndroidHttpClient}.
 *
 * 

Installing an HTTP response cache

* Enable caching of all of your application's HTTP requests by installing the * cache at application startup. For example, this code installs a 10 MiB cache * in the {@link Context#getCacheDir() application-specific cache directory} of * the filesystem}:
   {@code
 *   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 *       ...
 *
 *       try {
 *           File httpCacheDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "http");
 *           long httpCacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
 *           HttpResponseCache.install(httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize);
 *       } catch (IOException e) {
 *           Log.i(TAG, "HTTP response cache installation failed:" + e);
 *       }
 *   }
 *
 *   protected void onStop() {
 *       ...
 *
 *       HttpResponseCache cache = HttpResponseCache.getInstalled();
 *       if (cache != null) {
 *           cache.flush();
 *       }
 *   }}
* This cache will evict entries as necessary to keep its size from exceeding * 10 MiB. The best cache size is application specific and depends on the size * and frequency of the files being downloaded. Increasing the limit may improve * the hit rate, but it may also just waste filesystem space! * *

For some applications it may be preferable to create the cache in the * external storage directory. There are no access controls on the * external storage directory so it should not be used for caches that could * contain private data. Although it often has more free space, * external storage is optional and—even if available—can disappear * during use. Retrieve the external cache directory using {@link * Context#getExternalCacheDir()}. If this method returns null, your application * should fall back to either not caching or caching on non-external storage. If * the external storage is removed during use, the cache hit rate will drop to * zero and ongoing cache reads will fail. * *

Flushing the cache forces its data to the filesystem. This ensures that * all responses written to the cache will be readable the next time the * activity starts. * *

Cache Optimization

* To measure cache effectiveness, this class tracks three statistics: *
    *
  • {@link #getRequestCount() Request Count:} the number * of HTTP requests issued since this cache was created. *
  • {@link #getNetworkCount() Network Count:} the * number of those requests that required network use. *
  • {@link #getHitCount() Hit Count:} the number of * those requests whose responses were served by the cache. *
* Sometimes a request will result in a conditional cache hit. If the cache * contains a stale copy of the response, the client will issue a conditional * {@code GET}. The server will then send either the updated response if it has * changed, or a short 'not modified' response if the client's copy is still * valid. Such responses increment both the network count and hit count. * *

The best way to improve the cache hit rate is by configuring the web * server to return cacheable responses. Although this client honors all HTTP/1.1 (RFC 2068) cache * headers, it doesn't cache partial responses. * *

Force a Network Response

* In some situations, such as after a user clicks a 'refresh' button, it may be * necessary to skip the cache, and fetch data directly from the server. To force * a full refresh, add the {@code no-cache} directive:
   {@code
 *         connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
 * }
* If it is only necessary to force a cached response to be validated by the * server, use the more efficient {@code max-age=0} instead:
   {@code
 *         connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
 * }
* *

Force a Cache Response

* Sometimes you'll want to show resources if they are available immediately, * but not otherwise. This can be used so your application can show * something while waiting for the latest data to be downloaded. To * restrict a request to locally-cached resources, add the {@code * only-if-cached} directive:
   {@code
 *     try {
 *         connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "only-if-cached");
 *         InputStream cached = connection.getInputStream();
 *         // the resource was cached! show it
 *     } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
 *         // the resource was not cached
 *     }
 * }
* This technique works even better in situations where a stale response is * better than no response. To permit stale cached responses, use the {@code * max-stale} directive with the maximum staleness in seconds:
   {@code
 *         int maxStale = 60 * 60 * 24 * 28; // tolerate 4-weeks stale
 *         connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "max-stale=" + maxStale);
 * }
* *

Working With Earlier Releases

* This class was added in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Use reflection to * enable the response cache without impacting earlier releases:
   {@code
 *       try {
 *           File httpCacheDir = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "http");
 *           long httpCacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
 *           Class.forName("android.net.http.HttpResponseCache")
 *                   .getMethod("install", File.class, long.class)
 *                   .invoke(null, httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize);
 *       } catch (Exception httpResponseCacheNotAvailable) {
 *       }}
