Blue Coat Systems Proxy SG manual Checkauthorization

ProxySG Content Policy Language Guide

check_authorization( )

In connection with CAD (Caching Authenticated Data) and CPAD (Caching Proxy-Authenticated Data) support, check_authorization( ) is used when you know that the upstream device sometimes (not always or never) requires the user to authenticate and be authorized for this object.

Setting the value to yes results in a GIMS (Get If Modified Since) to check authorization upstream, and the addition of a “Cache-Control:must-revalidate”header to the downstream response.

Syntax

check_authorization(yesno)

The default is no.
