Cache of POST with same url and different body

[xyhuangjinfu]

Because of the mWaitingRequests field of RequestQueue, several Request which have same url and different body, the others request can only be executed after the first Request return. I think this is a little unreasonable, can mWaitingRequests only work for GET method? Common HTTP caches are typically limited to caching responses to GET.

something like this.

public <T> Request<T> add(Request<T> request) {
    //other operations
     if (request.getMethod() != Request.Method.GET && request.getMethod() != Request.Method.DEPRECATED_GET_OR_POST) {
	    mCacheQueue.add(request);
	    return request;
	}
    synchronized (mWaitingRequests) {
            //other operations
    }
}

Why not just call setShouldCache(false) on your requests if you don't want them to be cached? That will bypass mWaitingRequests, and doesn't involve a potentially incorrect assumption that POST requests shouldn't be cached.
