php-valid
=========

[](#php-valid)

What
----

[](#what)

A php 5.3+ library to help manage HTTP/1.1 cache validation headers, using the symfony/HttpFoundation layer.

Why
---

[](#why)

Because there is no known library that provides a clean, decoupled way to manage them. The actual [docs](http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/http_cache.html#optimizing-your-code-with-validation) just shows dirty controller examples.

How
---

[](#how)

By observing requests and asking `Rule` instances if response has changed since last time client asked, either using If-Modified-Since or ETag headers.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require "knplabs/valid=~0.1@dev"
```

Use
---

[](#use)
