NimbostratusHow to tell if the Web Acceleration Profile cache has been cleared?
So I have been working with:
But the return type from the call is void, so I have no way of knowing if this has worked or not. Is there a subsequent IControl call I can use (or use the data from) to work out if the cache has been cleared?

Pretty poor isn't it. This very issue informed point 3 in this API related blog I wrote: http://packetpushers.net/attributes-great-network-device-api/.
A call to
seems to be your only option but involves you having to compare those to the same, prior to cache clearance. Not ideal.get_statisticsThat, or you simply trust that if you didn't get an error, it worked.
whithajess_1787Just in case anyone else is wondering about this all of the cache info accessible from the API I found, cannot be used to completely confirm that a cache has been cleared. (mainly because the cache will still be in use) So I went with the simply trust it worked if it didn't error option as opposed to adding a race condition to the confirmation message (I take it this is why there is no response from the call)
