You can "modify" entries in the cache api

[jakearchibald]

caches.open(name)
  .then(c => c.put("/", new Response("lololol")));

In cache storage, the requests & responses can be mismatched in terms of their original fetching, or either/both can be of your own making.

Oh great! I don't understand how I missed that.

I'll make this change, but now I need to find a way to store the version number. IndexedDB was interesting for this!

[jakearchibald]

You could put metadata in headers, but it could be that indexeddb is a better fit.

[gmetais]

I like the idea of storing the info inside the headers. A unique request to Cache is better than 2 requests to Cache + IDB.

It may be good to update the part of the readme that talks about IDB to mention this

Maybe just referencing this issue to say it's a possible work-in-progress. Otherwise folks may get the wrong idea about how the Cache API works

Done.
