Caching (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Windows Internet Services (WinInet) supports built-in caching. Any data retrieved from the network is cached on the Windows Embedded CE–based device and retrieved for subsequent requests. The application using the WinInet functions can control the caching on each request. For HTTP requests from the server, most headers received are also cached. When an HTTP request is satisfied from the cache, the cached headers are also returned to the caller.

The following topics contain more information about caching in WinInet:

• Using Flags to Control Caching
• Using Persistent Caching Functions
• Enumerating the Cache
• Retrieving Cache Entry Data
• Creating a Cache Entry
• Deleting a Cache Entry
• Retrieving Cache Entry Files
• Handling Structures with Variable Size Data
