This capability requires Rules Engine - Advanced Rules which must be purchased separately. Contact your CDN account manager to activate it.

Category: Specialty

Purpose: Determines the set of HTTP methods that are eligible for caching on our network.

Key information:

• This feature supports the following HTTP methods: POST and PUT.
• Use a space character to delimit multiple HTTP methods.

• By default, only requests whose body is smaller than 14 Kb are eligible for caching.

  Use the Cacheable Request Body Size feature to set the maximum request body size for cache-eligible requests.

• Although you may enable caching for POST and PUT requests, purge is only supported for GET requests.
• GET requests are unaffected by this feature. Including or excluding the GET method when defining this feature will not impact whether GET requests are eligible for caching.

Default Behavior: Only GET requests are eligible for caching.
