This pull request adds important clarifications about the use of output caching in several ASP.NET documentation files. The main update is a warning to developers that output caching and its variation settings are intended for optimizing performance by storing alternate representations of resources, not for isolating audiences or protecting sensitive content. The warning emphasizes that any required isolation for personalized or sensitive data must be enforced in the application itself, not through cache configuration.
Documentation improvements:
VaryBysettings (likeVaryByParam,VaryByHeader, andVaryByCustom) are for caching alternate representations, not for isolating personalized or sensitive content, and that application-level isolation is still required (improving-performance-with-output-caching-cs.md,improving-performance-with-output-caching-vb.md). [1] [2]@ OutputCachedirective and itsVaryBysettings (caching.md).VaryBycombinations are not suitable for isolating sensitive or personalized responses, and that proper isolation must be handled in the application (overview.md).
