RestClient getting old data, how to clear cache?

[Ski]

Hi, I'm using RestClient to consume RackSpace's Rest web service. One
of my methods needs to keep polling the web service for the current
progress of a routine, and then do something when it is finished. The
problem I'm having is that every time I poll the server, I'm getting
the same (old) data. Does RestSharp use a cache? Is there a method to
clear it?

This is my code for polling the current progress:
var client = new RestClient(cmdURI);
client.ClearHandlers(); <-- This was a guess, I thought it
might clear the cache
string resource = "/images/"+imageID;
var request = new RestRequest(resource, Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("X-Auth-Token", authToken);

RestResponse response =
(RestResponse)client.Execute(request);

I run that code inside a while loop:

while (imageFinished == false)
{
image = imageCreationStatus(cmdURI, authToken,
newImageID);
imageStatus = image.status;
if (imageStatus == "ACTIVE")
imageFinished = true;
else
{
listBox1.Items.Add("image creation progress:
"+image.progress);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
}
}
MessageBox.Show("Image Created!");

What I see is listBox1 filling up with 'image creation progress: 0",
and even after the image is finished (I can verify using RackSpace's
web gui), it continues in an infinite loop saying it is currently 0.

Thanks,

Ronan

just send a quuerystring random...

sometimes it's the end server that caches using the URL

cmdURI +"?timestamp"+ datetime.now().tostring() 

something like that

RestSharp uses System.Net.WebRequest/HttpWebReqest under the hood for
its requests, so it should be respecting
HttpWebRequest.DefaultCachePolicy regarding caching.

Have you tried inspecting the traffic using either Fiddler or Wireshark?
Often this can be very revealing about what the actual HTTP traffic
looks like.

Thanks Cristavo, that worked! I just added the current timestamp to
the resource string (i.e. the end of the url)

Pete,

I haven't tried inspecting the traffic(I've never used one of those
tools), I'll take a look, thanks.

Are you working behind a proxy?

Andrew,

Nope, no proxy.
