Sounds technically like a grey area to me, but at the same time your approach seems reasonable.
"nocache" in the rendering URL doesn't strictly mean that "nocache" should be appended to all downstream requests -- at least, AFAIK that's not spec'd anywhere. This said, what you've implemented is more intuitive to the user. I'd be in favor of including it (as well as corresponding behavior in proxy URLs). --j On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 12:39 PM, Cheler, Vinay (LNG-DAY) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We are using Shindig 2.0.0, and one of the requirements is to disable > caching when using makeRequest API.
