My suggestion would be to set up your own cache system instead. It's  
not too difficult. Use a customPropertySet or script local array to  
store the data, and use the url as the key. Then you just need three  
handlers/functions:

getFromCache <url>
storeToCache <url>
deleteFromCache <url>

Then just use get/post URL, or if you use load, after putting the  
data in your own cache, unload the url.

But if you want to tamper with libUrl, and understand the danger that  
if you get too familiar you may be asked to take it over, and accept  
the usual "at your own risk" warning, and understand that your  
changes may not work in future updates and that you may turn into a  
frog...

... you could probably add a handler to liburl that would need to  
touch 2 script local variables. These are laLoadedUrls and  
laUrlLoadStatus. These are both arrays, and the keys are the relevant  
url itself. Put the data to be cached into laLoadedUrls[yourURL] and  
set laUrlLoadStatus[yourUrl] to "cached".
