ProcedureTo Set Cache Control Directives

  1. From the virtual server page, click the Content Handling tab.

  2. Click the General sub tab and go to the Cache Control Directives field under Miscellaneous.

  3. Fill in the fields. Valid values for the response directives are as follows:

    • Public. The response is cachable by any cache. This is the default.

      • Private. The response is only cachable by a private (non-shared) cache.

      • No Cache. The response must not be cached anywhere.

      • No Store. The cache must not store the request or response anywhere in nonvolatile storage.

      • Must Revalidate. The cache entry must be revalidated from the originating server.

      • Maximum Age (sec). The client does not accept a response that has an age greater than this age.

  4. Click Save.
