Description

Jetty Version 12.0.1

Jetty Environment Client API

Java Version 21.0.1

Question It's not clear to me how Jetty Client can respect Cache-Control headers without having a client-side cache to pull cached responses out of. But on the other hand, I can't find any sort of mention of a client-side cache in the documentation.

Can you please clarify what the client supports or does not support with respect to client-side caching?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to implement a client side cache for Jetty HttpClient that respects Cache Control headers; review existing Jetty caching modules and the HTTP caching specification.
