When I programmatically set the HttpCachePolicy, ASP.NET also appears to OutputCache the page. However, I can't find a way to set different aging parameters for the server and client caches. What I need is to be able to tell browsers to cache the response for 30 days, but have ASP.NET only cache the response for 2 days. How can this be done?
Here's how I am currently caching: TimeSpan tsMaxAge = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 2592000); Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(tsMaxAge.Seconds)); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(System.Web.HttpCacheability.Public); Response.Cache.SetMaxAge(tsMaxAge); Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(false); Response.Cache.VaryByParams["id"] = true; My response takes a relatively long time to generate and is quite large. The response will actually never change, so I should probably be setting a 2 year timeout (or whatever is the maximum), but only for the browser. I can't have ASP.NET keep things around that long because it would quickly overwhelm my server. Is there a way to do this? Or is it even an issue? Perhaps ASP.NET has built-in logic to handle this type of thing. Thanks, Ryan =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com NEW!
