Re: Who and why creates ~/Library/Caches/<my application> and how to stop it?



stringWithContentsOfURL is a simple wrapper around WebKit.
If you want to customize the caching behavior, you could use WebKit directly and then I am pretty sure that there are options to control this sort of thing.
Unfortunately this might turn your one-liner into about a page of code :|

Hi,
I have a small GUI-less application which register itself to listen for some system events and then communicate these events to other application via [ NSString stringWithContentsOfURL: ... ]. While looking into some other issues I have discovered the whole bunch of files in


    ~/Library/Caches/<my application name>

It is my assumption that these files are result of using "stringWithContentsOfURL:". The question is, how to prevent this from happening? In my particular case there is no reason whatsoever to cache anything.

Your advice will be highly appreciated,

Andrei Tchijov
