I don't have a specific problem that needs fixing; I just want to understand how something works.

The HttpWebRequest class permits its caching behavior to be modified, but the documentation refers repeatedly to "the cache" without explaining which cache it's talking about. Does HttpWebRequest use the same cache on the local computer that Internet Explorer uses? If so, is the caching behavior affected at all by the presence of other browsers on the machine, or by the user disabling Internet Explorer?

HttpWebRequest does use the IE cache. Even if you disable IE, it will still store the downloaded data in the same cache that IE uses.

It is not affected by other browsers on the machine.
