Content Information Context

Content Information Context

A content information context is a data structure that contains information about cached content. The context is usually obtained when the cache plug-in calls GetContentInformation on the IWMSCacheProxyServer interface. For example, when the content requested by a client is found in a local cache but has expired, the cache plug-in can direct the cache proxy server to query the origin server to determine whether the local cache is up to date. The result of that query is a content information context that contains information about the type of content and a pointer to a Data Container Version object that enables you to retrieve the content size, expiration date, and so on.
