Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

The current update-software-center-agent is using restfulclient without caching. This results in much more load/traffic than needed. There should be a gio based http version for the "what-is-availalbe-for-sale" command that uses etags to reduce the traffic and load on the software-center-agent server.

As a low hanging fruit for the remaining bits that need restfulclient we can setup a cachedir. But this will not help the "what-is-availalbe-for-purchase" case as restfulclient will not send a etag header for already stored collections.
