# cachePolicy

The request’s cache policy.

## Declaration

```swift
var cachePolicy: NSURLRequest.CachePolicy { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property is ignored for requests used to construct URLSessionUploadTask and URLSessionDownloadTask objects, as caching is not supported by the URL Loading System for upload or download requests.
