101857 - support creating cache entry with no data

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Darin Fisher]

currently, if i create a cache entry, write some meta data, and then close it,
the cache entry appears to vaporize.  the problem was solved when i opened up an
output stream to the cache entry, and then closed the output stream.  so, it
seems that when the cache entry descriptor is closed, it should check that it is
bound to a cache device before deactivating itself.

i discovered this bug while trying to work out a patch for bug 94004 "caching of
http redirects"

Okay, so we need to bind the cache entry on close.  Targeting for 0.9.6.

Attachment: patch to bind active cache entries upon deactivation. Also, return cache session even if no devices are currently enabled (bug 92908).
