Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Returns the value of this URLConnection's useCaches field.

Java documentation for java.net.URLConnection.getUseCaches().

Property setter documentation:

Sets the value of the useCaches field of this URLConnection to the specified value.

Some protocols do caching of documents. Occasionally, it is important to be able to "tunnel through" and ignore the caches (e.g., the "reload" button in a browser). If the UseCaches flag on a connection is true, the connection is allowed to use whatever caches it can. If false, caches are to be ignored. The default value comes from DefaultUseCaches, which defaults to true.
