Run action filter even if action is cached

Question

I have an action filter which is registered as global

GlobalFilters.Filters.Add( new SaveAdSourceFilter() );

The filter just saves some Referer information into Cookies to use it later. Now i enable caching mechanics via OutputCache attribute and the filter stops being called.

Is there a way to bypass caching for my filter? I know some other solutions like implementing IHttpModule but ActionFilter is a bit simplier.

Answer 1

You can use custom implementation of OutputCache, e.g. Donut Output Caching.
