Caching does not work with custom NSURLProtocol

Question

I am trying to subclass NSURLProtocol. However, I notice that I seem to lose caching functionality when I register my subclass, although it should not do anything. For example, if I [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest ...] several times to the same URL without registering a subclass, it only performs one actual HTTP request. When registering this subclass, it performs a network request each time.

Here is my code:

@interface CustomURLProtocol : NSURLProtocol
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSURLConnection *connection;
@end

@implementation CustomURLProtocol

+ (BOOL)canInitWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request {
    return [[[request URL] scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"] &&
           [NSURLProtocol propertyForKey:@"tagged" inRequest:request] == nil;
}

+ (NSURLRequest *)canonicalRequestForRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request {
    return request;
}

- (void)startLoading {
    NSMutableURLRequest *newRequest = [self.request mutableCopy];
    [NSURLProtocol setProperty:@YES forKey:@"tagged" inRequest:newRequest];
    self.connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:newRequest delegate:self];
}

- (void)stopLoading {
    [self.connection cancel];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {
    [[self client] URLProtocol:self didLoadData:data];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
    [[self client] URLProtocol:self didFailWithError:error];
    self.connection = nil;
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
    [[self client] URLProtocol:self didReceiveResponse:response cacheStoragePolicy:[[self request] cachePolicy]];
}

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection  {
    [[self client] URLProtocolDidFinishLoading:self];
    self.connection = nil;
}
@end

, , , - NSURLProtocol. connectDelegate?

: , . . startLoading.

NSCachedURLResponse *cachedResponse = [[NSURLCache sharedURLCache] cachedResponseForRequest:self.request];
    if (cachedResponse) {  
        [self connection:nil didReceiveResponse:[cachedResponse response]];
        [self connection:nil didReceiveData:[cachedResponse data]];
        [self connectionDidFinishLoading:nil];
    } else {
        _connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:newRequest delegate:self];
    }
