ResponseCache SkipCachePopulation based on the content in the target response

[Jerry123456]

Is it possible to skip populating the cache based on the response of the target server?  The target server should response with a Http status of 200 and a json object that includes a status property.  I have put in my policy <SkipCachePopulation>(response.content.status == "FAIL")</SkipCachePopulation>.  However regardless of the value of the status property the cache is alway populated.

Sample Target Service Response

{

"status": "FAILED",

"message": "Something bad happened"

}

The problem turned out to be the target server was returning text/html even though the request was for application/json.  Added a step to change the response to json then an extract variable policy to read said json worked.
