Cache-Control Header Checker - Audit HTTP caching configuration

scrappy_garden/cache-control-checker

Audit HTTP caching response headers (Cache-Control, Expires, ETag, Last-Modified, Vary, Age). Optionally tests conditional revalidation using If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since. Useful for web performance tuning and debugging CDN/browser caching behavior.
