Is it possible to store data using the PUT method in the system cache?

In the HTTP specification, the PUT method is intended for creating or replacing a resource at the specified URL. Caching responses to PUT requests is generally not applied, as PUT changes the state of the server.

In the context of caching systems (such as HTTP proxies or CDNs), responses to PUT requests are usually not cached to avoid data inconsistency.

However, when it comes to caching data within a C# application, the PUT method can be used to update data, and after a successful update, the cache can be explicitly updated or invalidated. But PUT itself does not automatically store data in the cache.

Example of updating cache after PUT:

// Update data
await httpClient.PutAsync(url, content);

// Update cache
cache.Set(key, updatedData);

Thus, data sent via PUT is not automatically stored in the cache system, but the application can manage caching manually after executing PUT.
