Can someone explain this block of ASP.NET MVC code to me, please?
- by Pure.Krome
Hi folks,
this is the current code in ASP.NET MVC2 (RTM) System.Web.Mvc.AuthorizeAttribute class :-
public virtual void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
}
if (this.AuthorizeCore(filterContext.HttpContext))
{
HttpCachePolicyBase cache = filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Cache;
cache.SetProxyMaxAge(new TimeSpan(0L));
cache.AddValidationCallback(
new HttpCacheValidateHandler(this.CacheValidateHandler), null);
}
else
{
filterContext.Result = new HttpUnauthorizedResult();
}
}
so if i'm 'authorized' then do some caching stuff, otherwise throw a 401 Unauthorized response.
Question: What does those 3 caching lines do?
cheers :)
