Control How HTTP Header Resources are Cached

The AllowCacheHeaders attribute tells the Web Agent how to handle cache-related request headers. Specifically, this settings tells the Agent whether or not it should remove the if-modified-since or if-none-match request headers before the Agent passes a request to the web server where it is installed. The action taken by the Web Agent affects whether or not a browser uses cached pages.

Note: This attribute does not affect auto-authorized resources. Auto-authorized resources include those matched by the IgnoreExt setting. For these files, the default cache operations are determined by the browser's and web server's own cache settings.
