+### Using cache key filter
+
+Sometime, you may not want to use the image URL as cache key because part of the URL is dynamic
+(i.e.: for access control purpose). SDWebImageManager provides a way to set a cache key filter that
+takes the NSURL as input, and output a cache key NSString.
+
+The following example sets a filter in the application delegate that will remove any query-string from
+the URL before to use it as a cache key:
+
+    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
+    {
+        [[SDWebImageManager sharedManager] setCacheKeyFilter:^(NSURL *url)
+        {
+            url = [[[NSURL alloc] initWithScheme:url.scheme host:url.host path:url.path] autorelease];
+            return [url absoluteString];
+        }];
+
+        // Your app init code...
+        return YES;
