The [[web server configuration parameter|WebServer Parameters]] ''use-browser-cache=yes'' activates 200 OK browser caching via the `Cache-Control` header and a smart a Etag header:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The server javascript creates an MD5 `hash` object.
|
||
|
|
* Adds the data of the current `request:response` (for example: json text or an image binary) to the hash object.
|
||
|
|
* Adds the current `headers` of the response to the hash object.
|
||
|
|
* If the response data has an `encoding` value, adds the encoding to the hash object.
|
||
|
|
* Calculates the final MD5 hash string as a `contentDigest` javascript variable, and saves it as an `Etag: "<<contentDigest>>"` header.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the incoming request contains a header named `if-none-match`, then the server will check the generated Etag against all values.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any `if-none-match` value DOES match the current Etag, the server will send a `304 NOT MODIFIED` response with the current response headers, instead of the data with a `200 OK` response.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This saves bandwidth, as the client can be sure they have already received the exact data and has it in their current cache.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If ''use-browser-cache=no'' (or any other value including null), then the server will return a `Cache-Control: no-store` header by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any customer server route module defines custom `Cache-Control` header behavior, then the server will pass that header through instead of the default.
