8 Oracle9iAS Web Cache

This chapter discusses the following topic:

• Section 8.1, "HTTP Authentication"

8.1 HTTP Authentication

By default, Oracle9iAS Web Cache caches all *.htm and *.html pages. Since caching rules override HTTP headers in determining cacheability, HTML pages that contain HTTP authentication response headers are cached. To avoid pages that support basic HTTP authentication from being cached, modify the caching rules to not include pages that require authentication.
