That's a good suggestion, and I'll certainly look into heeding the HTTP
expiration time stamps. In my case, data isn't updated on a regular
schedule, so the header may be of limited utility. But as I say, I'll
look into it.

I looked first at your "Testing Remote Services with WebMock" preso (a
tasty appetizer), and then at https://github.com/bblimke/webmock (the
main course) -- that's *exactly* what I need. I'll be up late tonight
wiring it in. Thanks for the pointer!
