%%% @doc The behaviour for `http_cache` response stores
%%%
%%% Keep in mind that for a unique combination of a request's method, URL, body and bucket,
%%% there still can be several different responses, depending on the `vary' header. A so
%%% called candidate is a response that matches request information. The main `http_cache'
%%% module is in charge of selecting a response according to the vary header.
%%%
%%% This is why the process is the following:
%%% <ol>
%%%   <li> `http_cache' request all the potential responses (candidates) using `list_candidates/1' </li>
%%%   <li> `http_cache' selects the freshest response whose vary header matches </li>
%%%   <li> `http_cache' request the response with `get_response/1'</li>
%%% </ol>
