Caching functionality

I have a question on the caching functionality

We have several apis who’s URI does not change but the contents of what are being requested are contained in the body of the POST.

What parts of the request does caching take into account? Just URI/query string OR also POST contents?

Hello!

At the moment cache key is: Method + URL + (Api key or IP). So content not respected at the moment.

ok, this would be extremely useful. Like a hash of the body. Otherwise we cannot utilize this feature.

**Do you want to request a *feature* or report a *bug*?** feature **What i…s the current behavior?** Caching cannot take into account POST bodies **What is the expected behavior?** Caching should have an option to hash POST bodies and use that as part of cache key Again an option, default behavior leave as is, but per api-def, a flag to permit this. **If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem** We have requests where the URI/querystring does not change but the contents of the POST body do vary (not huge bodies, but small ones) where the params are in the body, not the URI. We cannot cache this data. **Which versions of Tyk affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of Tyk?** 2.6.2+
