Hi @ScottDurow ,
@ben-thompson was kind and showed me your blog about automatically caching using ETAG and Xrm.WebApi sdk.
But I tried it out, and making the same request a few times in the console, it returns always the status 200. If it was cached, it should have returned 304, right?
Not sure if it's the same issue, but actually our Unittests about making WebApi HttpRequests with optimistic concurrency suddenly started failing a few weeks ago (maybe already a few months ago) in all our Systems, because the response Status is always 200.
Are you aware of this issue? Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Diana
I suspect read only requests are not being counted. As an example - this is the last hour for the dev box I'm currently trying to debug a none PCF piece of javascript on
Now there is a lot of read calls within the javascript and I'm continually refreshing the page (which is resulting in a lot of status 200 requests) but the number of webapi calls isn't increasing.
And that to me is exactly how the webapi limitations should be working - anything that touches the record should be charged for but anything that is simply reading data should be at no cost and it was the idea that read calls would be charged that was the problem I had with the change here, you can estimate how many records are created / updated on a daily basis, it's hard to tell how many records you may need to quickly check something on.
It's definitely working this end when not sending the
odata.include-annotations:
You see above it's returning 304
When sending the odata.include-annotations:
It returns 200.
Ideally we would have a way of controlling which headers are sent by Xrm.WebApi so we could benefit from the caching that it does. Since this recent change to CDS, Xrm.WebApi will never return a cached record.
It is interesting that if you send an $expand with the query, then the etag 304 responses will not be sent either - this was always an issue with the Xrm.WebApi - in that if a related record was updated and included in $expand - you would still get the old verison.
