/**
 * Represents implementations of URLConnection caches. An instance of
 * such a class can be registered with the system by doing
 * ResponseCache.setDefault(ResponseCache), and the system will call
 * this object in order to:
 *
 *    <ul><li>store resource data which has been retrieved from an
 *            external source into the cache</li>
 *         <li>try to fetch a requested resource that may have been
 *            stored in the cache</li>
 *    </ul>
 *
 * The ResponseCache implementation decides which resources
 * should be cached, and for how long they should be cached. If a
 * request resource cannot be retrieved from the cache, then the
 * protocol handlers will fetch the resource from its original
 * location.
 *
 * The settings for URLConnection#useCaches controls whether the
 * protocol is allowed to use a cached response.
 *
 * For more information on HTTP caching, see <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt""><i>RFC&nbsp;2616: Hypertext
 * Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1</i></a>
