Catalin George Festila: The python CacheControl module - part 002.

Today was a hard day and this is the reason I make this short tutorial.
Teory of HTTP:
HTTP specifies four response cache headers that you can set to enable caching:

• Cache-Control
• Expires
• ETag
• Last-Modified

These four headers are used to help cache your responses into two different models:

• Expiration Caching - used to cache your entire response for a specific amount of time (e.g. 24 hours), simple, but cache invalidation is more difficult;
• Validation Caching - this is more complex and used to cache your response, but allows you to dynamically invalidate it as soon as your content changes.

First you need to know about this code is a raw example about how we can access cache of the page.
Come with a simple class named DictCache. You can named with any name and is a BaseCache class.
The next step I make is to show you how can access it.
One simpe way is to see the page - first session.
The complex come when you need to access for example data and info like:
 'adapters', 'auth', 'cert', 'close', 'cookies', 'delete', 'get', 'get_adapter', 'head', 'headers', 'hooks', 'max_redirects', 'merge_environment_settings', 'mount', 'options', 'params', 'patch', 'post', 'prepare_request', 'proxies', 'put', 'rebuild_auth', 'rebuild_method', 'rebuild_proxies', 'redirect_cache', 'request', 'resolve_redirects', 'send', 'stream', 'trust_env', 'verify'
And this is come with teh second session from this source code:

import requests
from cachecontrol import CacheControl
from cachecontrol.cache import BaseCache

class DictCache(BaseCache):

    def __init__(self, init_dict=None):
        self.data = init_dict or {}

    def get(self, key):
        return self.data.get(key, None)

    def set(self, key, value):
        self.data.update({key: value})

    def delete(self, key):
        self.data.pop(key)

print "first session requests"
sess = requests.session()
cached_sess = CacheControl(sess)
response = cached_sess.get('http://google.com')
print '=================='
print 'see page by add this: print response.text'
print '=================='
print "second session BaseCache"
sess2 = requests.session()
base=DictCache(sess2)
print '=================='
print "dir(base)"
print dir(base)
print '=================='
print"dir(base.data)"
print dir(base.data)
print '=================='
print"base.data.max_redirects"
print base.data.max_redirects
print '=================='
