Not able to cache any pages using WebAcceleration (AAM)

Hi,

I have been struggeling a while with the WebAcceleration module to cache pages. I have not been able to retrieve a single object from the cache.

I have tried both defining the web acceleration policy manually, and using the iApp to create one for me. But I get the same result.

As an example, I want to cache static content as such CSS files.

When I request a CSS file through the VS, I get the X-WA-INFO header value:

    [V2.S10206.A62284.P100017.N13694.RN0.U0].[OT/all.OG/includes].[P/0.0].[O/0.1]

This is the output from wainfodecode

    V2: X-WA-Info Format Version
    S10206: Response was served from the origin web server, because the content was uncacheable.
    A62284: Application: /Common/aam_testapp.app/aam_testapp_aam
    P100017: Local-policy: /Common/Generic Policy - Enhanced
    N13694: Request Policy Node: Includes
    RN0: Response match did not supersede request match
    UCI hash: 0
    Object type: all
    Object group: includes
    Request served from TMM: 0.0
    Request owned by TMM: 0.1
    Entity hit count (local/remote): 0/0
    Document hit count (local/remote): 0/0
    Document not cacheable (negative cache entry).
    Reason: Response cache control prevents caching.
    Bypass: Content received is not cachable.
    Parking: Not parked.

As you can see, it says it cannot cache the content because of response cache control. I assume this is from the originating web server to the AAM/LTM module.

Here is what the originating web server are sending back to BigIP:

If I understand the headers correctly, there should not be any cache-control saying that the content is uncacheable.

What I have tried so far:

• Same setup against a wordpress/apache site. Configured the Expire and Cache-Control in htaccess - still not able to cache any files
• Tried both iApp and manually WebAcceleration settings.
• Tried an WA Application Profile that should cache anything.

Any suggestions on how to move forward is much appreciated!
