Lab not working properly

Hamza | Last updated: May 08, 2023 05:29PM UTC

I am doing the following lab https://portswigger.net/web-security/web-cache-poisoning/exploiting-implementation-flaws/lab-web-cache-poisoning-unkeyed-query But the response is not being cached, I have tried by sending a lot of requests or hits. But everytime I am getting the X-Cache: miss which means the response is not getting cached. Evidence Screenshot: https://filebin.net/h8z8ll54bbronpwo Please check the lab is working as expected or not. Thank you

Hi Hamza, I have just run through this lab and am not seeing the same issues as you - the caching appears to work as expected. Do you experience the same behaviour if you try the lab again today?

I have been experiencing the same issue with requests not caching on multiple of the cache poisoning labs. Today in particular, requests are not caching in the "Web cache poisoning via ambiguous requests" lab.

Hi Ethan, I responded to your separate forum post about this earlier but, just to reiterate, are you using any extensions when you observe this behaviour?
