The Ignore No-Cache options in the RAM cache profile apply only to Cache-Control headers in the request not cache control headers in the response. If the client sends a Cache-Control: no-cache header such as what occurs when hitting CTRL-Refresh and the ignore none option is selected the content will not be served from RAM cache, if ignore all is selected the content will be served from RAM cache.

 

 

From what I have seen in testing this RAM cache will always follow what is configured in the profile and not what is sent from the server for max-age or s-maxage values.

 

 

WebAccelerator which is an application aware cache can be configured to either follow or ignore Cache-Control headers in the response.
