         if { [HTTP::header exist "Content-Type"] }  {
            if { [HTTP::header exist "Cookie"]  } { 
                CACHE::disable
                }
            CACHE::enable
            }        
    }

    when HTTP_RESPONSE priority 600 {

       if { [HTTP::status] == 200 }{
               if { [HTTP::header exist "Cookie"] } { 
                CACHE::disable

    Hi neeeewbie

    I think this iRule will do.

    when HTTP_REQUEST priority 500 {
    if { [HTTP::method] equals "GET" } {
        CACHE::disable
    } else {
        CACHE::enable
    }
}

    KR
