Within Security settings in the General Configuration, you can configure caching headers to control how browsers cache data when using Gateway.

You can manage the following HTTP caching headers:

To specify the cache control header details for Gateway:

  1. Open the General configuration window, then expand the Security section. (Click the Navigator button if necessary, then click Configurations > General configuration. Click Security at the bottom to expand the Security settings.)

  2. Scroll down to the Cache control section, then configure the following.
    • Select the Don't cache response (no-store) checkbox to specify that the response must not be stored in any cache.

    • Select the Revalidate response before each reuse cache (no-cache) checkbox to specify that the response may be stored in any cache, even if the response is generally non-cacheable. Doing so enables the no-cache cacheability directive.

    • In Max age (seconds), specify the maximum amount of time in seconds that a resource is considered "fresh". The default is 86400 seconds (one day).

    • In the Cache storage, select where the response can be stored:
      • Public: The response may be stored in any cache.
      • Private: The the response may be stored only by a browser's cache.
    • Select the Must revalidate checkbox to specify that caches must not use stale copies of a resource without successfully validating it from the origin server. Doing so enables the must-revalidate directive.

    • Select the Pragma checkbox to allow for backwards compatibility with HTTP/1.0 clients.

  3. When you're done, click Save.

    To cancel your changes, click Cancel.
