How Do I Disable Safari Cache?

As the title states, I would like to completely disable all safari [internet] page caching. i use a proxy server that does all the caching for all the nodes on my network so i don't need my browser to cache pages. 16GB reserved for caching is a bit absurd and I'd like to reclaim that space back.


Thanks

[SOLVED]


~/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari is where Safari stores its cache. Setting this to read-only, Safari is no longer able to save cache to target directory.


Very sneaky of Apple to hide safari cache directory as they did, especially after removing the option within safari to configure cache directory size.
