Our application relies heavily on the caching support of httplib2. We cannot consider switching to requests until requests has basic caching support with pluggable storage backends (we use a BSDDB backend for a multi-process shared cache).

Glancing over the code, I did not see any cache support. Let's sprint on this some day. I maintain an [http cache handler for urllib2](https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/jaraco.net/src/eeb3581fb267/jaraco/net/http/caching.py#cl-15) and I've also worked on the httplib2 code base (though I recognize that might be as much a detriment as a compliment ;).
