IIRC there's also a technical reason wrt HttpClient.  It unfortunately
doesn't cache the response headers on disk, only the response body. 
The response headers live only in memory. I guess their idea is to
store the frequently-needed and low-footprint data in memory, and put
the less-frequently-needed and large-footprint stuff on disk.

So at least on the version we're currently using it's not even possible
to make the HttpClient cache persist in a meaningful way across
restarts.  Maybe that has or will change in the newer or future
versions, don't know.
