Description

Is there any reasonable way to return and handle HTTP caching headers like Expires, Last-Modified, If-Modified-Since?

I could override part of controller method like here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/http-caching-ruby-rails#stale but I would call for resource twice if cache was missed.

Thoughts, ideas?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the library's request and controller handling, then review how Rails HTTP caching headers could fit without fetching a resource twice. Done means a documented, agreed approach for Expires, Last-Modified, and If-Modified-Since handling.
