Session History and docshell can make use of convinience routines in cache component that will accept either a url or cacheToken or preferably cacheKey and provide information on whether the entry is expired or modified from last access etc... This is required to handle back/forward and reload operations on a page that has expired. Currently docshell is performing the long steps required to figure these. A convinience routine would be useful, since I find more usage for this feature.

I'm replicating a whole lot of logic in ftp for bug 103726 For example, I can't ask if the entry is expired, I have to grab the expiration time and check manually, since I'm not using DoomEntriesIfExpired (does anyone, given the presense of READ_FROM_CACHE?) For once per session support, I have to keep arround the sessoin start time, as does http. What are the chances of moving some of this logic into the cache backend?
Bradley, I don't believe this bug is for adding convenience functions to the cache service, but rather http. Http hands out cacheTokens or cacheKeys to its clients so they have access to the original source. These clients sometimes need to know if the original source has expired (though I don't really know what this might mean for a cacheKey since it doesn't "pin" and entry in the cache). Last I checked, FTP used DoomEntriesIfExpired... Just how much code does it take for you to compare the expiration date against your request time? I wouldn't have thought it "a whole lot of logic". Or are there other convenience routines you would like to see? Perhaps you could list them. If they are convenience routines to be added to the cache service, perhaps we should open a new bug.
