NAME
    LWP::UserAgent::CHICaching - LWP::UserAgent with caching based on CHI

SYNOPSIS
    The usual way of using LWP::UserAgent, really, just pass a `cache`
    parameter with a CHI object to the constructor:

      my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'Memory', global => 1 );
      my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::CHICaching->new(cache => $cache);
      my $res1 = $ua->get("http://localhost:3000/?query=DAHUT");

DESCRIPTION
    This is YA caching user agent. When the client makes a request to the
    server, sometimes the response should be cached, so that no actual request
    has to be sent at all, or possibly just a request to validate the cache.
    HTTP 1.1 defines how to do this. This class simply extends LWP::UserAgent
    with LWP::UserAgent::Role::CHICaching (also in this distribution) which is
    doing the real work to make it possible to use the very flexible CHI
    module to manage such a cache.

    But why? Mainly because I wanted to use CHI facilities, and partly because
    I wanted to focus on HTTP 1.1 features.

TODO
    This is an early release, but it supports RFC7234 quite well already. Much
    work remains though. These are the things that I'd like to do:

    *   Enable smarter generation of keys, so that semantically identical
        content can be cached efficiently even though they may have different
        URIs. This can be done in a separate role with the current code.

    *   Support all of RFC7234 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234> and
        RFC7232 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232>
