I'm using NSURLSession to perform an HTTP Post NSMutableURLRequest, using the dataTaskWithRequest:completionHandler: method. When I perform a request for the first time, things take a reasonable amount of time to complete and show some feedback in the completion handler. On the next time that same request is fired, it happens almost instantaneously with very little time in between, which leads me to believe that the system is caching the contents of this data task.

As I don't need to view the returned data, is NSURLSession the best way to do this? It needs to work well with WatchKit, which NSURLSession does, which is why I chose it in the fist place. I would preferably like to find a way to just clear the cache after each request. If need be, I could switch to NSURLConnection, but this would be best. Thanks!

Ephemeral mode will not use any cache.

NSURLSessionConfiguration *ephemeralConfigObject = [NSURLSessionConfiguration ephemeralSessionConfiguration];
