It sounds a little weird to me :-) Generally, it's the responsibility of the server to decide when to use the cache (for DDoS attacks, for example). Also, if the cache is well-implemented on the server side, you should never see a difference as a client !

Yeah this is just for debugging purposes... Not sure what the best soln is though.

The cache is global, so it is weird for one user to be able to bypass it. (Would the cache be updated in that case?)

[ouziel-slama]

yep! when a user does not use a cache he penalizes other users by consuming more server resources for the same result.. this is not serious when there are few users but it remains strange that a user can decide to make a server work more :) (in that case we can decide to update the cache or not)
