NSURL -resourceDataUsingCache: seems to ignore the flag... is this on purpose?

- (NSData*) resourceDataUsingCache: (BOOL)shouldUseCache
{
  NSURLHandle	*handle = [self URLHandleUsingCache: YES];
  NSData	*data = nil;

  if ([handle status] == NSURLHandleLoadSucceeded)
    {
      data = [handle availableResourceData];
    }
  if (shouldUseCache == NO || [handle status] != NSURLHandleLoadSucceeded)
    {
      data = [handle loadInForeground];
    }
  if (nil == data)
    {
      data = [handle availableResourceData];
    }
  return data;
}

It does use the flag:

if (shouldUseCache == NO || [handle status] != NSURLHandleLoadSucceeded)

The flag controls whether cached data is returned, not whether a cached URL is used to supply it.
So yes, I believe this is intentional.

Shouldn't the call to

  NSURLHandle	*handle = [self URLHandleUsingCache: YES];

also use this?

Ok, I am closing this.
