Configuring the proxy to ignore server no-cache headers

Help | Content Gateway | v8.5.x

By default, Content Gateway observes Cache-Control:no-cache directives. A response from an origin server with a no-cache header is not stored in the cache, and any previous copy of the object in the cache is removed.


	Important If you configure the proxy to ignore no-cache headers, it also ignores no-store headers.


	Important The default behavior of observing no-cache directives is appropriate in most cases. Configure the proxy to ignore origin server no-cache headers only if you are knowledgeable about HTTP 1.1.

To configure the proxy to ignore origin server no-cache headers.:

Open the records.config file in the Content Gateway config directory.

Edit the proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_server_no_cache variable to 1 to ignore server directives to bypass the cache.

Save and close the file.

To apply the changes, run the following command from the Content Gateway bin directory:

content_line -x
