Overview of REST Cache Policy
Description
The REST Cache Policy supports caching of REST service response, and augments the URL-based v API Management Caching feature. This policy makes it possible to enable caching for REST service (where the URL for all requests are the same) for customers who are using REST with POST messages.
The REST Cache Policy:
-
Supports caching of REST with POST requests, which allows requests that have the same payload and configured headers value to get served from the cache, instead of the back-end server.
-
Supports the REST POST request calls that match the unique content cache key, which are served from the API Management cache. For more information, see Content Cache Key Formation.
-
Checks the cache_ttl parameter as a pre input. This value must be in minutes.
-
Supports REST POST calls only.
-
Caches origin or backend server HTTP responses and HTTP headers, and is compliant with tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-13.5.1.
