Implement response caching

Bmcweb supports the If-None-Match and etag headers on responses.  While
for static files, we can do a direct set, for responses, there's no way
to cache values.

Add caching support by adding what seems to be a well supported axios
package.  Note the intent is that the cache expires immediately, such
that the bmc will always be polled for results, and return 304 when not
modified.  Additionally, we currently cache these values in the session
context, such that they can be reused on refresh.

Tested: webui loads properly.  Upon navigating to a logs page, and back,
the network console shows the bmc returning nearly all redfish responses
with 304, not modified.

webui-vue is a web-based user interface for the OpenBMC firmware stack built on Vue.js.

Hold on... What happened to phosphor-webui?

phosphor-webui was built on AngularJS and AngularJS went End of Life on June 30, 2021. This repository is its replacement.

When will this new Vue.js application reach feature parity with phosphor-webui?

A few, mostly minor, features remain for feature parity. See GitHub Issues label:phosphor-webui-feature-parity for the complete list.

What improvements does webui-vue have?

As mentioned, this application is built using Vue.js, a modern open-source Model-View-ViewModel JavaScript framework supported by an active community and strong documentation. It has been architected to allow organizations to easily update the theme to support their brand. This rewrite takes advantage of front-end development best practices and does not suffer from some of the anti-patterns that exist in phosphor-webui today.

Should I switch to webui-vue from phosphor-webui?

It is recommended you switch from phosphor-webui if you haven't already.

webui-vue has the following additional features:

  • Ability to easily theme to meet brand guidelines
  • Accessibility
  • Full Redfish
  • Improved user experience based on user feedback
  • Language translation-ready
  • Modern front-end framework with an active community and future development roadmap

How can I get involved?
