1)We want to cache very specific paths on our site, mainly for static content. If we wanted to cache everything under say [http://example.com/pdfs](http://example.com/pdfs), would we just add ‘/pdfs/\*’ to the URI Include list?

2)If we do this, are we sure that it would NOT be caching [http://example.com/](http://example.com/) (root path) or even something like [http://example.com/foo](http://example.com/foo)?

3)Is there a way to view cache contents – as in, what files it is actually caching?

Hi,

You could use the BIG-IP AAM for an Advanced Dynamic Caching solution. Or you could use BIG-IP LTM RAM Cache for static content.

Some details of **BIG-IP LTM RAM Cache**

**Cacheable content**

You can configure the BIG-IP cache feature to cache the following content types:

- 200, 203, 300, 301, and 410 HTTP responses
- Responses to HTTP GET requests
- Other HTTP methods for URIs specified for inclusion in cached content, or specified in an iRule
- Content based on the User-Agent and Accept-Encoding values. The cache feature holds different content for Vary headers.

**Non-cacheable content**

The cache feature does not cache the following items:

- Data specified by the following Cache-Control headers: private, no-store, no-cache
- Action-oriented HTTP methods such as HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, and CONNECT
