/**
* 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}.
*
* <h3>Installing an HTTP response cache</h3>
* 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}: <pre> {@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();
* }
* }}</pre>
* 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!
*
* <p>For some applications it may be preferable to create the cache in the
* external storage directory. <strong>There are no access controls on the
* external storage directory so it should not be used for caches that could
* contain private data.</strong> Although it often has more free space,
* external storage is optional and&#8212;even if available&#8212;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.
*
* <p>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.
*
* <h3>Cache Optimization</h3>
* To measure cache effectiveness, this class tracks three statistics:
* <ul>
* <li><strong>{@link #getRequestCount() Request Count:}</strong> the number
* of HTTP requests issued since this cache was created.
* <li><strong>{@link #getNetworkCount() Network Count:}</strong> the
* number of those requests that required network use.
* <li><strong>{@link #getHitCount() Hit Count:}</strong> the number of
* those requests whose responses were served by the cache.
* </ul>
* 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.
*
* <p>The best way to improve the cache hit rate is by configuring the web
* server to return cacheable responses. Although this client honors all <a
* href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">HTTP/1.1 (RFC 2068)</a> cache
* headers, it doesn't cache partial responses.
*
* <h3>Force a Network Response</h3>
* 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: <pre> {@code
* connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
* }</pre>
* 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: <pre> {@code
* connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
* }</pre>
*
* <h3>Force a Cache Response</h3>
* Sometimes you'll want to show resources if they are available immediately,
* but not otherwise. This can be used so your application can show
* <i>something</i> while waiting for the latest data to be downloaded. To
* restrict a request to locally-cached resources, add the {@code
* only-if-cached} directive: <pre> {@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
* }
* }</pre>
* 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: <pre> {@code
* int maxStale = 60 * 60 * 24 * 28; // tolerate 4-weeks stale
* connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "max-stale=" + maxStale);
* }</pre>
