HttpRequestCachePolicy Class

Definition

Defines an application's caching requirements for resources obtained by using HttpWebRequest objects.

public ref class HttpRequestCachePolicy : System::Net::Cache::RequestCachePolicy
public class HttpRequestCachePolicy : System.Net.Cache.RequestCachePolicy
type HttpRequestCachePolicy = class
    inherit RequestCachePolicy
Public Class HttpRequestCachePolicy
Inherits RequestCachePolicy
Inheritance
HttpRequestCachePolicy

Examples

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.
static WebResponse^ GetResponseNoCache( Uri^ uri )
{
   // Set a default policy level for the "http:" and "https" schemes.
   HttpRequestCachePolicy^ policy = gcnew HttpRequestCachePolicy( HttpRequestCacheLevel::Default );
   HttpWebRequest::DefaultCachePolicy = policy;

   // Create the request.
   WebRequest^ request = WebRequest::Create( uri );

   // Define a cache policy for this request only. 
   HttpRequestCachePolicy^ noCachePolicy = gcnew HttpRequestCachePolicy( HttpRequestCacheLevel::NoCacheNoStore );
   request->CachePolicy = noCachePolicy;
   WebResponse^ response = request->GetResponse();
   Console::WriteLine( L"IsFromCache? {0}", response->IsFromCache );
   
   return response;
}
// 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("IsFromCache? {0}", response.IsFromCache);
    return response;
}

Remarks

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.

Constructors
