+### cacheable_unary
+
+This test verifies that gRPC requests marked as cacheable use GET verb instead
+of POST, and that server sets appropriate cache control headers for the response
+to be cached by a proxy. This test requires that the server is behind
+a caching proxy. Use of current timestamp in the request prevents accidental
+cache matches left over from previous tests.
+
+Server features:
+* [CacheableUnaryCall][]
+
+Procedure:
+ 1. Client calls CacheableUnaryCall with `SimpleRequest` request with payload
+    set to current timestamp. Timestamp format is irrelevant, and resolution is
+    in nanoseconds.
+    Client adds a `x-user-ip` header with value `1.2.3.4` to the request.
+    This is done since some proxys such as GFE will not cache requests from
+    localhost.
+    Client marks the request as cacheable by setting the cacheable flag in the
+    request context. Longer term this should be driven by the method option
+    specified in the proto file itself.
+ 2. Client calls CacheableUnaryCall with `SimpleRequest` request again
+    immediately with the same payload as the previous request. Cacheable flag is
+    also set for this request's context.
+
+Client asserts:
+* Both calls were successful
+* The payload body of both responses is the same.

+### CacheableUnaryCall
+
+Server gets the default SimpleRequest proto as the request. The content of the
+request is ignored. It returns the SimpleResponse proto with the payload set
+to current timestamp.  The timestamp is an integer representing current time
+with nanosecond resolution. This integer is formated as ASCII decimal in the
+response. The format is not really important as long as the response payload
+is different for each request. In addition it adds
+  1. cache control headers such that the response can be cached by proxies in
+     the response path. Server should be behind a caching proxy for this test
+     to pass. Currently we set the max-age to 60 seconds.
