Cacheability
============
A gem that makes client-side caching of HTTP requests a no-brainer. It is built upon the Rack:Cache gem from Ryan Tomayko.

Cached data can be stored in heap, file or memcached. See the Rack::Cache documentation (http://tomayko.com/src/rack-cache/) for more information.

Installation
============
  gem install cryx-cacheability
  
Usage
=====
  require 'cacheability/restclient'
  resource = RestClient::CacheableResource.new(  'http://some/cacheable/resource', 
                                                  :cache => { :metastore => 'file:/tmp/cache/meta', 
                                                              :entitystore => 'file:/tmp/cache/body' } 
                                              )
  resource.get # get from remote server, and cache if possible
  # ...
  resource.get # get from cache, if still fresh.
  # ...
  resource.get(:cache_control => 'no-cache') # explicitly tells to bypass the cache, requires rack-cache >= 0.4
  # ...
