NimbostratusUnable to Exclude from Web Acceleration cache profile
I'd like to cache static assets and exclude other pages using Web Acceleration profile. But the problem is I can't exlude pages by extension, we don't use. And I can't 'seem to' exclude by path, because the root path (ie /) is the home page. are my assumptions wrong?
Our web application does not have any extension for pages. In other words, our pages are not index.htm, info.asp, or contact.js*, ..etc.

I'm not able to check but can't you configure caching based on Content Type?

is there a way to do that in an Web Acceleration profile or does it have to be an iRule? Are there any examples of this?

OK, so I was wrong, you can't cache based on content type. Anyway, it looks pretty simple;
Add these to the exclude list;
- /info
- /about-me
Add these to the include list;
- /images/.*
- /css/.*
Do not think .* relates to file extensions, it doesn't. It's a regular expression with . being any single character and * being zero or more of the preceding element (in this case .)
I'm not quite sure how to handle / based on your requirements. Why exclude that and then specifically exclude /info?
