The cache files have a "metadata" header, containing the expiry time,
MD5 header .. well, chunks of what you'd find in the StoreEntry struct.
After this metadata header (which is encoded as a TLV - Type, Length, Value -
so unknown entries don't screw up the rest of the header or file)
you'll find a copy of the object as it came in off the wire.

To see how its handled, look at src/store_swapmeta.c .
