Cache HTTP responses

Hi,

I'm looking for a C#-module that can cache the results of
HTTP-requests persistently on disk. I want to write a program that
fetches data by issuing a number of HTTP-get requests and process the
results. The data will only rarely change, so I would like to use
module that issues proper ETag and If-Modified-Since http-headers to
avoid downloading the data if it hasn't changed.

I haven't been able to find such a module among the standard modules.
Has anyone written such a module?

Regards,

Mattias Holmlund

A full blown managed code solution utilizing the WinINet cache comes
with .NET 2.0.

But you can use those conditional GETs and ETags with HttpWebRequest --
you'll just need to implement your own cache or wrap WinINet.

Thanks for you reply. I'll probably implement my own webcache using
HttpWebRequest then. I only need it to handle simple GET-requests, so
it will be relatively straight-forward.

Hello Does anybody know how to make FireFox to cache data that comes via XMLHttpRequest? Here is the issue I deal with: - On the web server (apache2) I have a static xml file test.xml - When I download test.xml using XMLHttpRequest, FireFox always gets complete test.xml from the server, thus not using the browser cache (apache sends 200 OK back to FireFox). - If I look into the HTTP request and the HTTP response, I can see that FireFox...

Hi, I think this question requires an in depth understanding of how a browser cache works. I hope I can reach an expert here. I may have found a quirk in the asp.net documentation or I don't understand what the SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory does. While researching caching I tried the code sample at the following page : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/97wcd0a4(en-us,vs.80).aspx

Hi All, what is the diference between these two cache control header. no-cache and no-store. I have read the w3.org explanation. So lets say I am using only no-cache ....my understanding is that nothing is cached and nothing is writen to disk.

I am writing an ASP.NET 2.0 application that uses master pages. I have some pages that must not be cached on the client. In ASP.NET 1.1 I achieved this using metatags: <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0"> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"> This tags are part of the <headelement. Sample code that I have seen shows how to add metatags of the form:
