Does roUrlTransfer cache response?

I am using roUrlTransfer::AsyncPostFromString() to get some JSON from a remote server and there appears to be some caching going on. Does roUrlTransfer automatically cache the response? If so how long does it cache for and can it be controlled?

Re: Does roUrlTransfer cache response?

No, it does not cache transfers. Perhaps the server you are working with caches requests, or something else is going on with your code.

Re: Does roUrlTransfer cache response?

I am having the same issue. The response I get from brightscript code is different (expired) from what I get from a curl/chrome client. I added a cache buster (a random value) at the end of the url, and it worked just fine.

http://www.example.com/programs/channel1?date=2015-10-21
retuned expired data and fixed by adding a random value

http://www.example.com/programs/channel1?date=2015-10-21&random=<some_random_value>

This works fine for query params method, but I have REST apis that does not allow that extra value. Is there a way to overcome this? I added Cache-Control : cache-none header, doesnt seem to be working either.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!
