Short answer: No, you cannot disable caching.
If what you are interested in, is not persisting the cache out to
disk, you can use the "incognito mode" for this purpose (will use
in-memory cache).
To actually disable caching, I would suggest using an HTTP proxy to
strip cacheability from responses. This solution has the advantage of
working for all browsers.
If you really want, you can build a hacked version of chromium that
disables caching.
You should be able to do this with just a couple lines of code.
Off the top of my head, hacking http_cache.cc in the following way
will probably do the trick:
HttpTransaction* HttpCache::CreateTransaction() {
return network_layer_->CreateTransaction();
}
HttpCache* HttpCache::GetCache() {
return NULL;
}
Although a more elegant solution would be to change
chrome_url_request_context.cc to set:
http_transaction_factory_ = HttpNetworkLayer::Create();
in place of the HttpCache* object it will use.
What is the use-case for "turning off" caching?
