CacheControl is a port of the caching algorithms in httplib2_ for use with requests_ session object.

It was written because httplib2's better support for caching is often mitigated by its lack of thread safety. The same is true of requests in terms of caching.

Quickstart

.. code-block:: python

import requests

from cachecontrol import CacheControl

sess = requests.session() cached_sess = CacheControl(sess)

response = cached_sess.get('https://google.com')

If the URL contains any caching based headers, it will cache the result in a simple dictionary.
