IHttpCacheSpecificData Interface

Provides information and access methods for data that is stored in a global cache.

Syntax

class IHttpCacheSpecificData  

Methods

The following table lists the methods exposed by the IHttpCacheSpecificData interface.

Name Description
DecrementTTL Decrements the Time-to-Live (TTL) setting of the cached data.
DereferenceCacheData Decrements the internal reference count for the cached data.
GetCacheKey Returns the cache key associated with the cached data.
GetFlushed Returns a value indicating whether the specific data has been flushed from the cache.
ReferenceCacheData Increments the internal reference count for the cached data.
ResetTTL Resets the Time-to-Live (TTL) setting of the cached data.
SetFlushed Sets a value indicating that the specific data is to be flushed from the cache.

Derived Classes

Name Description
IHttpFileInfo Extends the IHttpCacheSpecificData interface by adding file-specific information for files that are cached on a server.
IHttpTokenEntry Extends the IHttpCacheSpecificData interface by adding token-specific information for tokens that are cached on a server.

Remarks

You can retrieve an IHttpCacheSpecificData pointer from an ICacheProvider pointer by calling the ICacheProvider::GetCacheRecord method.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to create a global module that listens for GL_CACHE_OPERATION and GL_CACHE_CLEANUP events and then writes the IHttpCacheSpecificData information to the Event Viewer.

Caution

IIS 7 generates a large number of events in the Event Viewer. To avoid a log overflow error in a production environment, you should generally avoid writing cache information to the event log. For demonstration purposes, this code example writes an entry to the Event Viewer in debug mode only.
