Web Proxy Caching > Ensuring cached object freshness > HTTP object freshness > Specifying header requirements
|
By default, the proxy caches all objects (including objects with no headers). As a bet practice, change the default setting only for specialized proxy situations. If you configure the proxy to cache only HTTP objects with Expires or max-age headers, the cache hit rate will be seriously reduced (very few objects have explicit expiration information).

Under Behavior > Required Headers, select one of the following:
|
![]() |
An Explicit Lifetime Header to cache only HTTP objects with Expires or Cache-Control headers.
|
![]() |
A Last-Modified Header to cache only HTTP objects with Expires or Last-Modified headers.
|
![]() |
No Required Headers to cache all HTTP objects (no specific headers are required). This is the default.
