ForceCacheControl

This is documentation about a configuration directive, which can be placed within Movable Type’s core configuration file, mt-config.cgi, to customize the behavior of the system.

Note: For versions prior to Movable Type 8.3.0, please use HeaderCacheControl.

The ForceCacheControl configuration directive sets the value of the Cache-Control header for the administration screen. The value specified for this directive is included in the HTTP response, allowing you to specify how to control the content cache of the administration screen.

This is used when you want to control cache data based on your operational security policy—for example, when you want to prevent external servers such as proxy servers from retaining cached data.

For example, the following setting specifies Cache-Control: private, which ensures that data is not cached by anyone other than the individual viewing the page (no cache remains on the server).

ForceCacheControl private

Note: Cache-Control is valid for HTTP protocol 1.1 and later. For more details on Cache-Control, please refer to the following:
