What is the effect of the command set httpcallout1 'cacheForSecs 120'?

• A. The cache duration of the HTTP callout response is set to 120 seconds.
• B. The cache duration of the HTTP request is set to 120 seconds.
• C. The cache duration of the HTTP response is set to 120 seconds.
• D. The cache duration of the HTTP callout request is set to 120 seconds.

Answer: (A)

The setting cacheForSecs on an HTTP callout controls how long the response from that callout is cached. With a value of 120 seconds, once the HTTP callout returns a response, that response is stored. If the same callout is invoked again within those 120 seconds, the system will return the cached response instead of making a new HTTP request to the external service. This speeds things up and reduces external traffic, but data can be up to two minutes old. It’s important to note this caches the HTTP callout’s response, not the request itself or the callout object. After 120 seconds, a fresh callout will occur to obtain a new response. If you need newer data, adjust the TTL or disable caching.
