> Vary header from the server's response is not processed correctly by the cache when prepending the list of variables to the URL.
> Example (unrelated headers removed from the requests/responses for clarity).
> -> client sends:
> GET http://s.ytimg.com/yt/cssbin/www-guide-vflgAVfxE.css HTTP/1.1
> Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
> Host: s.ytimg.com
> -> server responds:
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> Vary: Accept-Encoding
> Current implementation produces the following variant URI to be stored in the cache:
> {Accept-Encoding=}http://s.ytimg.com/yt/cssbin/www-guide-vflgAVfxE.css
> Notice how the actual value of Accept-Encoding header from the original request is NOT prepended. 
> The correct variant URI should be:
> {Accept-Encoding=gzip%2Cdeflate}http://s.ytimg.com/yt/cssbin/www-guide-vflgAVfxE.css
> The cause of the problem: org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachingHttpClient.java, method callBackend(..)
> uses the original version of HttpRequest without headers added by DefaultHttpClient and/or ContentEncodingHttpClient implementation. 
> Proposed fix:
> Replace the following lines of org.apache.http.impl.client.cache.CachingHttpClient.java:
>         HttpResponse backendResponse = backend.execute(target, request, context);
>         backendResponse.addHeader("Via", generateViaHeader(backendResponse));
>         return handleBackendResponse(target, request, requestDate, getCurrentDate(),
>                 backendResponse);
> with the lines:
>         if (context==null) context=new BasicHttpContext();
>         HttpResponse backendResponse = backend.execute(target, request, context);
>         backendResponse.addHeader("Via", generateViaHeader(backendResponse));
>         HttpRequest actualRequest=(HttpRequest)context.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_REQUEST);
>         return handleBackendResponse(target, actualRequest, requestDate, getCurrentDate(),
>                 backendResponse);
> After the corrections above, further experiments show that variant cache entries are still not being processed correctly. In the example above, the cache entry will be stored with the key "{Accept-Encoding=gzip%2Cdeflate}http://s.ytimg.com/yt/cssbin/www-guide-vflgAVfxE.css", but lookups will be performed using the key "http://s.ytimg.com/yt/cssbin/www-guide-vflgAVfxE.css", because obviously the client does not know that this particular cache entry has variants at the time of request.
> So maybe the correct fix would be to remove this "{Accept-Encoding=gzip%2Cdeflate}" prefix from the key completely when storing it in the cache?
