Features

• (cache): Attempt a GET match in Cache.lookup method with incoming HEAD request (#44): 1a27c9c
  When the incoming request is a HEAD method, try to look for its GET counterpart in the Cache.

  API.add('GET', '/articles', async (req, res) => {
    // heavy DB query processing, etc
    const items = await expensive('task');
    res.send(200, items);
  });
  
  // BEFORE
  // ---
  // request -> "GET  /articles" -> Cache MISS -> execute -> Cache PUT -> Response
  // request -> "GET  /articles" -> Cache HIT  -> Response
  // request -> "HEAD /articles" -> Cache HIT  -> execute -> Cache PUT -> Response
  
  // AFTER
  // ---
  // request -> "GET  /articles" -> Cache MISS -> execute -> Cache PUT -> Response
  // request -> "GET  /articles" -> Cache HIT  -> Response
  // request -> "HEAD /articles" -> Cache HIT  -> Response

Patches

• (router): Prevent early exit via compose in prepare hook (#43): a1ab931
  When using compose() to create a $.prepare handler, a Response was always returned from $.prepare, preventing any/all route handlers from running. This has been fixed.

• (cache): Do not try to Cache.put for HEAD requests (#44): e69859c
  This technically was throwing at runtime error, which didn't affect the Response – thanks to event.waitUntil.
