Show all headers | View raw

I write a Web cache to be used with GitHub and BitBucket API (support of 
more APIs may be added in the future). I need to store Link: headers in the 
cache because in GitHub they are used for pagination. Should I store in the 
cache **all** HTTP headers or only Link ones?

(note that I currently store response body and status)

Non-Link headers are not needed, but it may break future compatibility. 
What's your advice?
