cache_page.rs

//! View-level caching middleware.
//!
//! Wrap a [`Router`] subtree with [`cache_page`] and every eligible
//! `GET` or `HEAD` response for that subtree is cached for the
//! configured TTL. Subsequent requests for the same URI + query string
//! get the cached response without hitting the handler.
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use umbral_cache::cache_page;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! let public = Router::new()
//!     .route("/", get(home))
//!     .route("/about", get(about))
//!     .layer(cache_page(Duration::from_secs(60)));
//! ```
//!
//! ## Cache key
//!
//! `cache:page:GET:<host>:/path?query` — method + Host header + full URI
//! including query string.  Fragments are stripped by the browser and never
//! reach the server.  Including the Host header prevents multi-tenant
//! cache-poisoning where tenant A's cached page would otherwise be served to
//! requests arriving on a different Host.
//!
//! ## What gets cached
//!
//! Only `GET` and `HEAD` responses with HTTP status **200** are stored.
//! The following bypass caching:
//! - Any method other than `GET` / `HEAD` (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
//! - Status code other than 200.
//! - Response carries `Cache-Control: no-store`.
//! - Response carries a `Set-Cookie` header (the body may be personalised).
//! - Request carries an `umbral_session` cookie — personalised / logged-in
//!   requests are neither served from nor written to the page cache, keeping
//!   the cache to the safe anonymous-only subset.
//!
//! ## Ambient cache dependency
//!
//! [`cache_page`] reads the ambient [`super::Cache`] via [`super::ambient()`].
//! If the ambient cache has not been initialised (i.e. [`super::CachePlugin::init`]
//! has not been called), cache misses and stores are silently skipped —
//! the handler always fires normally. This is intentional: a misconfigured
//! cache degrades gracefully rather than returning 500s.
//!
//! ## Deferred
//!
//! - ETag / 304 conditional caching — the current implementation always
//!   serves the full cached body. A future iteration will store and compare
//!   ETags to emit 304 Not Modified, saving bandwidth.
//! - Vary-header awareness (`Vary: Accept-Language`, etc.).
//! - Per-route cache key prefix customisation.
