HttpWebRequest (Caching) problem?
-
I have set up a simple application to connect to the internet and download the contents of a file from time to time, for example a file containing quotes that are to change on daily basis. This has been set up correctly - the connection is made (using HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse...) and the contents are downloaded :) . However, running the application more than once will than display the same contents that were first downloaded. This can go on from a few hours to a few days! :wtf: I don't know what is going on, but I believe that the program is accessing some cache from somewhere instead of downloading the stream once again. I need the program to download the stream from the internet every time it is running - and ignores any cache or whatever it is that is storing the stream data. What am I to do? :sigh:

Change the CachePolicy[^] of the HttpWebRequest.
