HTTP Cache Middleware

http-cache-middleware is a high-performance connect-like HTTP cache middleware designed for Node.js applications. It leverages the popular `cache-manager` package, providing flexibility to integrate various storage engines like in-memory, Redis, and more. The library significantly reduces latency by enabling robust caching strategies, capable of improving response times from tens of milliseconds down to single digits. It supports custom `x-cache-timeout` and `x-cache-expire` headers for fine-grained control over cache entry and invalidation using glob patterns. Additionally, it transparently handles standard HTTP `Cache-Control` and `ETag` headers to facilitate browser-side caching and validation. The current stable version is 1.4.1, with recent updates indicating an active maintenance and development cadence focused on fixes and dependency updates, with minor cumulative releases.
