Cache ASP.NET page for anonymous users only

Is there an easy way to cache ASP.NET whole page for anonymou开发者_如何学Pythons users only (forms authentication used)?

Context: I'm making a website where pages displayed to anonymous users are mostly completely static, but the same pages displayed for logged-in users are not.

Of course I can do this by hand through code behind, but I thought there might be a better/easier/faster way.

I'm using asp.net MVC, so I did this in my controller

if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) {
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-1));
    Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
    Response.Cache.SetNoServerCaching();
}
else {
    Response.Cache.VaryByParams["id"] = true; // this is a details page
    Response.Cache.SetVaryByCustom("username"); // see global.asax.cs GetVaryByCustomString()
    Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60));
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Server);
    Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true);
}

The reason I did it this way (instead of declaratively) was I also needed the ability to turn it on and off via configuration (not shown here, but there's an extra check in the if for my config variable).

You still need the vary by username, else you'll not execute this code when a logged in user appears. My GetVaryByCustomString function returns "anonymous" when not authenticated or the users name when available.

You could use VaryByCustom, and use a key like username.

There is nothing stopping you from extending the existing attribute with the desired behaviour,

for example:

public class AnonymousOutputCacheAttribute : OutputCacheAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) 
    {
       if(filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
          return;

        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }  
}  

Haven't tested this, but I don't see reason why this shouldn't work.
