README

The default Silverstripe cache handling sends headers that are not considered cacheable by a proxy such as Cloudflare.

This module allows you to modify this behaviour via configuration, allowing a proxy to cache based on the headers sent by the application.

Useful information

• HTTP cache headers in Silverstripe
• MDN Cache-Control reference

Usage

• Install this extension using composer
• Modify the configuration rules to your requirements
• Test behind your caching proxy to verify Cache-Control and related header values are as expected

Installation

Install via composer:

composer require nswdpc/silverstripe-cache-headers

Documentation

The priority of caching directives in Silverstripe are in this order as follows:

disableCache($force=true)
privateCache($force=true)
publicCache($force=true)
enableCache($force=true)
disableCache()
privateCache()
publicCache()
enableCache()

By default this module enables the cache (enableCache), but does not provide the force parameter as true.

See documentation for a primer on various options, including sample configurations.
