Episode notes

How do you specify how long things are cashed? There are standards for that. Most of your cash control stuff will happen from the server to the client. You can override those, or doing i the other way, from the client to the service. The next j s data fetching library is a browser standard but not everyone has implemented it.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes answer a question about caching, cache control headers, an explanation of the fields for caching.
