Status header

Status header

To improve traceability of the caching process Cashew sets a custom header on each response that is returned from the HttpCachingHandler. The following values are defined:

Name	Description
Hit	Existed in cache, served from cache
Miss	Did not exist in cache, served from origin server
Stale	Existed in cache but was stale, served from cache since it was deemed acceptable to serve a stale response
Revalidated	Existed in cache but was stale, revalidated by using If-None-Match or If-Modified-Since

It can be retrieved with the extension method GetCashewStatusHeader in the following way:

var status = httpResponseMessage.Headers.GetCashewStatusHeader();
