5.1 Configuring Caching Options

The Cache Options allow you to control how the Access Gateway caches objects.
1 Click Access Gateways > Edit > Cache Options.
2 To disable caching of all Web server content, select Disable Caching.
When this option is selected, all other caching options are disabled.
3 (Access Gateway Appliance) Configure the Cache Management options:
Enable Caching of Objects with a Question Mark: If this option is selected, a cacheable
object is cached if it has a question mark in the URL.
Enable Caching of Objects with CGI in the Path: If this option is selected, a cacheable
object is cached if it has /cgi in its URL.
Objects that meet these criteria are only cached if they are also cacheable objects. Web server
administrators can mark objects as non-cacheable. When so marked, these objects are not
cached, even when the above options are selected.
If you disable both of these options, it does not mean that objects with question marks or
their paths cannot be cached. These objects can match some other criteria and be cached.
4 (Access Gateway Appliance) Configure the Cache Tuning options.
These options restrict or enable functionality that affects all the resources protected by the
Access Gateway.
Refresh Requests from Browser: When a user clicks Refresh or Reload in the browser, this
action sends a new request to the Web server. Select one of the following options to control
how the Access Gateway handles the request:
Refill: Causes the proxy service to send the request to the Web server.
