Description aronvaughan 2007-03-19 08:05:08 UTC 
need the ability to turn caching off at the HttpUrlConnection when doing a get 
(we were getting stale download contents and needed to force a fetch and not 
use the servers' cached version)

code is svn - trunk fetch as of 3/19/2007 AM - minor change, attaching patch 
and documentation update patch

Seems reasonable; setUseCaches has been around since forever so nothing breaks.

You know its only a hint, don't you? Proxy servers have the right to ignore it.
The most reliable way to <get> safely is to append a timestamp
?something=20070320121717 kind of value at the end

sure, but is very nice for those that honor it :-)
Comment 5 Steve Loughran 2007-03-21 05:25:28 UTC 
Of course, the other option would be to support the "Cache-Control" header with 

connection.addRequestProperty("Cache-Control",Integer.toString(maxCacheAge));

we'd then have a maxCacheAge property that you could set...
