You're right, CACHE_FOREVER still performs the HEAD requests to check for updates. 
Using this strategy makes Central survive offline restarts.

> Currently, you can use URLTransportUtility like 
> new URLTransportUtility().getCachedFileForURL(url, "Download stuff", lifespan, monitor);
> with lifespan possible values being :
> - URLTransportUtility.CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT : will cache the file during the workspace session
> - URLTransportUtility.CACHE_FOREVER : will cache the file forever once downloaded
> In certain cases, we want to be able to use CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT, but also be able to recover from network outages. So adding something like 
> - URLTransportUtility.SAFE_CACHE_UNTIL_EXIT  (feel free to find a better name) : if the remote file is available, it will be downloaded on new Eclipse session, if it's not, the last valid cache will be returned.
