Fix cache handling bug with validation callback#454
Merged
Conversation
The validation_callback invocation in CacheDownloader forced redownloads even on a cache hit, in order to pass the response content to a parser. After experimenting with several solutions, the easiest is to abstract out `validation_callback` into an arbitrary `response_ok` call which gets passed into the request fetching loop. `response_ok` is then a wrapper over the validation callback which can intentionally answer "yes" eagerly if a response evaluates to a cache hit -- a response which is a '200 Ok' and contains a Last-Modified header which scans as a hit should be treated as 'ok' regardless of its content. In addition to the code changes, a regression test is included, which is demonstrated to fail on the current release.
