	* Represents implementations of URLConnection caches. An instance of
	* such a class can be registered with the system by doing
	* ResponseCache.setDefault(ResponseCache), and the system will call
	* this object in order to:
	*
	* <ul><li>store resource data which has been retrieved from an
	* external source into the cache</li>
	* <li>try to fetch a requested resource that may have been
	* stored in the cache</li>

	*
	* The ResponseCache implementation decides which resources
	* should be cached, and for how long they should be cached. If a
	* request resource cannot be retrieved from the cache, then the
	* protocol handlers will fetch the resource from its original
	* location.
	*
	* The settings for URLConnection#useCaches controls whether the
	* protocol is allowed to use a cached response.
