Content cache-controls: maxAge Parameter Value

[Purushothaman]

Hi there,

Based on the below article on the item 6 "Configure the cache-controls as per Content cache-controls and click Add"

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Applying-a-custom-cache-control-policy-in-Ql...

If we configure the Cache policy to: "Private, must-revalidate, max-age=0," what value should we assign to the maxAge parameter?

Anyone, Please suggest.

maxAge  is still required and based on your business requirement.  By default, it can be set as 3600 seconds. 

The max-age=N response directive indicates that the response remains fresh until N seconds after the response is generated.  max-age=0 is not same as no-cache.  More details can be found from below.
