Purpose: Determines the set of HTTP methods that are eligible for caching on our network.

Key information:

This feature supports the following HTTP methods: POST and PUT.
Use a space character to delimit multiple HTTP methods.
By default, only requests whose body is smaller than 14 Kb are eligible for caching.

Use the Cacheable Request Body Size feature to set the maximum request body size for cache-eligible requests.
Although you may enable caching for POST and PUT requests, purge is only supported for GET requests.
GET requests are unaffected by this feature. Including or excluding the GET method when defining this feature will not impact whether GET requests are eligible for caching.

Default Behavior: Only GET requests are eligible for caching.
