timer) or it will return a whole new response which pip can then store in the
cache.

When storing items in the cache, pip will respect the ``CacheControl`` header
if it exists, or it will fall back to the ``Expires`` header if that exists.
This allows pip to function as a browser would, and allows the index server

While this cache attempts to minimize network activity, it does not prevent
network access altogether. If you want a local install solution that
circumvents accessing PyPI, see :ref:`Installing from local packages`.
