NSURLConnection is not working properly. It will store responses properly, but it never purges the cache (diskCapacity is ignored) on iOS 8.0 so the cache will grow without limit, though manually clearing the cache does work. This is fixed in iOS 8.1, although removeCachedResponseForRequest: still does not work.

Also, if you specify a cache size smaller than 5 megs, it will not cache anything.
