how to cache http requests at proxy server in java?

Question

I am a student building a http proxy server. I want to cache those requests that are frequently accessed. May I get any idea about this? Especially in java.

To figure out what you need to implement, read and understand the HTTP specification. Focus particularly on the sections on how a proxy is supposed to behave.

You could possibly base part of the implementation on the Apache HttpClient library, but I have a feeling that the APIs will prove to be unsuitable for the proxy server use-case.

I'd also like to point out that a more practical way to implement an HTTP proxy server would be to simply deploy an existing server like Squid.
