[jira] [Resolved] (HTTPCLIENT-1152) org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.memcached.MemcachedHttpCacheStorage should verify class of returned object before casting

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1152?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1152.
-------------------------------------------

       Resolution: Invalid
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 4.1.3)
                       (was: 4.2 Final)

> Could be that somebody is using the cache for other purposes as well, and just happens to set an object with a URL as a key that
> conflicts with an object that is set by MemcachedHttpCacheStorage

Could be that somebody is using computer to hammer nails. We can't stop people from doing silly stuff.

>  -- this could (and also probably should) be mitigated by allowing the client of MemcachedHttpCacheStorage to set a client-defined 
> prefix String that will be prefixed to all keys, thus avoiding potential collisions. 

This is actually a very reasonable suggestion. Probably what we need is a generic strategy that can be used to generate a unique cache key from a request url. This would also take care of HTTPCLIENT-1153.

> In my case, it is that we are using jmemcacheddaemon for local testing purposes, and (unfortunately) jmemcacheddaemon has 
> a known bug where cache misses return an empty string instead of a null object. 

OK. But I do not think that polluting a general purpose library with a hack clearly specific to your local environment is the right thing to do. Simply implement a custom HttpCacheStorage which is aware of the empty string semantics.
