+Type "cache"
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The "cache" request can be used once a project is configured and will
+list the cached configuration values.
+
+Example::
+
+  [== CMake Server ==[
+  {"type":"cache"}
+  ]== CMake Server ==]
+
+CMake will respond with the following output::
+
+  [== CMake Server ==[
+  {
+    "cookie":"","inReplyTo":"cache","type":"reply",
+    "cache":
+    [
+      {
+        "key":"SOMEVALUE",
+        "properties":
+        {
+          "ADVANCED":"1",
+          "HELPSTRING":"This is not helpful"
+        }
+        "type":"STRING",
+        "value":"TEST"}
+    ]
+  }
+  ]== CMake Server ==]
+
+The output can be limited to a list of keys by passing an array of key names
+to the "keys" optional field of the "cache" request.
