How to stop caching until development is completed?

Hello, i'm trying to make some changes on website, but the problem is caching. I cannon progress when i cannot see what have i done so far. Do you have any ides how to stop caching? I've alredy tried adding http headers, but without any result. Thanks

 

  • Hek, are you referring to caching in the browser or BIG-IP?

     

    Have you set these headers in the HTTP_RESPONSE event?:

     

    Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate

     

    Pragma: no-cache

     

    Expires: 0

      I'm referring to caching in BIG-IP

      I've set those headers in => Application Security : Headers : HTTP Headers

      Header      Type        Mandatory   Check Signatures    Perform Normalization
      cookie      Explicit        No      No                  No
      pragma      Explicit        No      No                  No
      referer     Explicit        No      Yes                 Yes
      cache-control   Explicit    No      No                  No
      authorization   Explicit    No      Yes                 No
      *           Wildcard        N/A     Yes                 No

      Caching in BIG-IP is controlled by Local Traffic --> Profiles --> Services --> Web Acceleration. Do you have that profile attached to your VS?

       

      I don't see how the ASM Policy will help you there.
