I have a c# client talking to a cherrypy(http/rest) webservice. The problem is i can't both turn on compression and caching at the same time.
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
By leaving out the above line I get the correct caching headers (If-None-Math,If-Modified-Since) while commenting it out gets me the compression headers (Accept-Encodig:gzip) but not the caching headers. It seems to me like a bug but maybe i'm doing something wrong.
[full code]
public static string GET(string URL)
{
string JSON;
// Create the web request
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(URL) as HttpWebRequest;
HttpRequestCachePolicy cPolicy = new HttpRequestCachePolicy(HttpRequestCacheLevel.Revalidate);
request.Accept = "application/json";
request.CachePolicy = cPolicy;
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
request.Pipelined = false;
// Get response
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
// Get the response stream
StreamReader readerF = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
JSON = readerF.ReadToEnd();
// Console application output
//Console.WriteLine(JSON);
if (response.IsFromCache )
Console.WriteLine("Request not from cache");
}
return JSON;
}
