Comment (by Mounir):
Sorry for revisiting this old issue.
I recently ran into trouble debugging a test. The test involved retrieving
JSON results and popping keys from them via a variable:
{{{
response_data = response.json()
item1 = response_data.pop('item1')
}}}
While debugging, I was puzzled as to why the URL returned incomplete data.
I had assumed that calling response.json() would return the full JSON
data, but due to the caching mechanism in place, this wasn't the case.
Comparing this behaviour to the requests library, which has no caching,
leads to different user expectations. Some users may find this distinction
difficult to grasp.
