Enforcing caching on https content

Hi all

 

 

I'm considering putting in an iRule to enable caching (http header/pragma) of various static content types.

 

 

Catch is I'm using the f5 box to do ssl encryption and this encryption process seems to stip most of the header out.

 

 

Has anyone tried to do these kind of header updates in combination with ssl/https?

 

 

All the best

    As far as I know the SSL encryption process on the BIG-IP doesn't inherently remove any of the caching headers. You might check your profile settings to ensure nothing's being removed there.

     

     

    What headers are you seeing before the encryption that you don't after it's delivered and decrypted?
