HttpRequestCachePolicy Class
Defines an application's caching requirements for resources obtained by using HttpWebRequest objects.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
You can specify a default cache policy for your application by using the DefaultCachePolicy property or the application or machine configuration files. For more information, see <requestCaching> Element (Network Settings).
You can specify the cache policy for an individual request by using the CachePolicy property.
Caching for Web services is not supported.
The following code example creates a default cache policy for the application domain, and overrides it for a request.
// The following method demonstrates overriding the
// caching policy for a request.
public:
static WebResponse* GetResponseNoCache(Uri* uri)
{
// Set a default policy level for the "http:" and "https" schemes.
HttpRequestCachePolicy* policy = new HttpRequestCachePolicy(HttpRequestCacheLevel::Default);
HttpWebRequest::DefaultCachePolicy = policy;
// Create the request.
WebRequest* request = WebRequest::Create(uri);
// Define a cache policy for this request only.
HttpRequestCachePolicy* noCachePolicy = new HttpRequestCachePolicy(HttpRequestCacheLevel::NoCacheNoStore);
request->CachePolicy = noCachePolicy;
WebResponse* response = request->GetResponse();
Console::WriteLine(S"IsFromCache? {0}", __box(response->IsFromCache));
return response;
}
