[WK2][NetworkCache] Drop HTTP method from NetworkCache::Key

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Dumez]

Drop HTTP method from NetworkCache::Key as we only cache GET responses for now. Even when we start caching HEAD responses, we likely will not want the method to be part of the key because:
- A HEAD response can be used to update the headers of a previously cached response to GET
- A cached GET response may be used to satisfy subsequent HEAD requests

You shouldn't do this. The old entries will get cleaned during normal cache shrinks (and in an unlikely event of hash collision will fail to validate). Version updates are meant to be used when the directory structure changes and be paired with code that deletes the old directory structure.

It could be renamed to diskLayoutVersion or something similarly informative.
