Class CacheRequest

java.lang.Object

java.net.CacheRequest

public abstract class CacheRequest
extends Object

CacheRequest is a kind of channel for storing resource data in the ResponseCache. A protocol handler calls the OutputStream which is provided by the CacheRequest object, to store the resource data into the cache. It also allows the user to interrupt and abort the current store operation by calling the method abort. If an IOException occurs while reading the response or writing data to the cache, the current cache store operation is abandoned.
