Yes, one approach would have been to implement a client filter which
would make it to work on any Jersey Client; in that case it would
require a rewrite of what HTTPCache4J has written :). Since I worked
with its original developer and I know its being used in production, I
have the opinion that its better that I do not rewrite anything and
thus I used it directly.

I first took the path of extending directly and then realized that to
have all the code from ApacheHttpClientHandler (that is supporting its
properties), I needed to write my own response resolver.
http://httpcache4j.codehaus.org/create_response_resolver.html
And might turn out creating a mess :(.
In addition for authentication Erlend (developer and maintainer of
HTTPCache4J) has done some neat work which I wanted to take advantage
of, thus the rewrite. If the current version works fairly I will try
to incorporate all rest of the features of Apache HTTP Jersey Client.
I will need some guidance in terms of how to extend fruitfully. It
would be extremely helpful for usage if we can support the same set of
properties.
Thank you, waiting for some guidance.
Regards,
Imran
