Wrapping an HTTP client call and using the cache-control header value to cache the response

[pfortin-urbn]

As the title indicates, I have a need for the wrapped method to define the cache refresh time of the data that is being returned.

If I make an http call to get a config item that rarely changes - the server might respond with the header: Cache-Control: MAX-AGE=900. so now I want to cache that data for 900 seconds, but if the code of the server changes to respond with Cache-Control: MAX-AGE=1500. I don;t want to change my code I want it to adapt to the new cache-control header.

There may be other patterns in which this type of caching could be used.

Do you have a method to handle this if not I have a rough POC of a change to your wrapper that could work that I'd be willing to provide if you are interested.

@pfortin-urbn take a look at the example I just added and let me know if such a solution looks suitable for your use-case

@zmumi I think that might do it - let me do some local testing and I'll get back to you.
