!!!!! Httpcache will remain here, but going forward you should switch to using httplib2.
Httpcache
A caching http interface that supports ETags and gzip to conserve bandwidth. All of the headers and the content at that URL are cached for quick retrieval later. ETags are supported for doing a conditional GET, which only retrieves the content when it has really changed.
Usage
cache = HTTPCache('http://127.0.0.1/testContent.xml')
content = cache.content()
The 'content' is the content retrieved from the URL.
info = cache.info()
The 'info' returned is an rfc822 Message object for reading rfc822 headers. Note that this object is only useful for reading. If you want to add new headers and have them updated in the cache you will need to call 'add_headers()'.
cache.add_headers({"md5" : "03030eeeef33, 2034023feef, 23493208903"})
Requirements
Requires Python 2.2 or later
