Hi Jack,
>From what I know the cache is cleaned automatically, you have no way to retrieve something that is cleaned to reset it later. This means you will have to handle this process yourself. I would suggest storing the result in a separate file so that if your request fails you can load from the file and store it back in cache. If the requests succeeds you can store the result in the file and in the cache.

Is is possible? Thanks, -- Jack
