The repository provides a drop‑in replacement for Node’s native `fetch` that adds a persistent, file‑system‑based HTTP cache optimized for web‑crawling. It stores GET responses in a configurable folder, supports various cache‑refresh strategies (e.g., force, once, never, or time‑based), and lets callers control cache reset, logging, and other options—making it useful for developers building crawlers that need fast, repeatable fetching without repeatedly downloading unchanged resources.
