# LWP::UserAgent::Role::CHICaching::VaryNotAsterisk(3pm)

A role for when Vary is not \* when caching LWP::UserAgent

## NAME

LWP::UserAgent::Role::CHICaching::VaryNotAsterisk - A role for when Vary is not \* when caching LWP::UserAgent

## SYNOPSIS

See LWP::UserAgent::Role::CHICaching.

## DESCRIPTION

See LWP::UserAgent::Role::CHICaching::SimpleKeyGen for a background. Basically, this module does the second dumbest thing, but in doing so, the User Agent ceases to be compliant with the HTTP standard. You basically have to implement your own `"key"` attribute to make it compliant.

### Attributes and Methods

- "cache\_vary"

  Allow a response with a `"Vary"` header to be cached if it doesn't contain an asterisk (\*).
