Chapter 4: Property Reference
167
bypass_cache( ) Determines whether the cache is bypassed for a request. If set to yes, the cache is not queried and the
response is not stored in the cache. Set to no to specify the default behavior, which is to follow
standard caching behavior.
While static and dynamic bypass lists allow traffic to bypass the cache based on the destination IP
address, the bypass_cache property is intended to allow a bypass based on the properties of the
client; for example, you might use it to allow specific users or user groups to bypass the cache.
This property has no effect on streaming objects.
Syntax
bypass_cache(yes|no)
