Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

CacheRequest

Synopsis

When a URLStreamHandler reads a network resource, it should call the put( ) method of the currently installed ResponseCache, if there is one. If the cache wants to save a local copy of the resource, it will return a CacheRequest object to the URLStreamHandler. The handler should then write the resource to the OutputStream returned by the getBody( ) method.

See also CacheResponse. This class is used by the implementors of URLStreamHandler, not by casual users of the java.net package.
