Oct 17, 2005Ok it looks like the headers are being changed based on my sniffer:

Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
However, the files are still caching. What is very strange is that I was using apache server before I started trying BIG IP and it worked using this command in a virtual host within apache:
Header unset Cache-Control
Header add Cache-Control no-cache
Header add Pragma no-cache
And it worked great. Everyone told me how much control you had over traffic with the Big IP, so thats why we're trying it --- ughh!
If I use a * in the "contains" will it match all files? Maybe it is only not working for some files?
