Interface CacheFile

public interface CacheFile

A cache file contains the response headers and body that can be delivered on subsequent requests for the same resource. TODO: currently there are methods that only makes sense while either using an existing cache file or creating a new one: it might be more appropriate to create separate interfaces for that.
