Class ResponseCache

java.lang.Object
  java.net.ResponseCache

public abstract class ResponseCache
extends Object

ResponseCache implements URLConnection caches. System default cache can be registered by invoking ResponseCache.setDefault(ResponseCache), and can be retrieved by invoking ResponseCache.getDefault. If URLConnection#useCaches is set, URLConnection class will use ResponseCache to store and get resources. Whether the resource is cached depends on ResponseCache implementation. If a request resource is cached, protocol handler will fecth it from the cache. If the protocol handler fails to get resource from the cache, it turns to get the resource from its original location.
