F5-RAMcache cache only when the cache headers is present
Hello, I trying to configure the F5 devices to enable cache only when the cache headers is present and caching the time specified in the headers. After done some test I can see the objects without cache headers in the backend are cached with randomly time-to-be-cached (I'm sure is not random but I don't know the algorithm applied) Do anybody how to configure RAMCache to only cache the object when the cache headers is present?
In all my tests the field Ignore Headers is set to "none"
I like share my lab and test, all of them test in 8950 with 10.2.4 version. http profile applied
profile http STATIC-HTTP {
