Request Method

Category: Request

Purpose: Identifies requests by their HTTP method.

Only assets that are requested using the selected request method will satisfy this condition.

The available HTTP methods are:

• GET
• HEAD
• POST
• OPTIONS
• PUT
• DELETE
• TRACE
• CONNECT

Key information:

• By default, only the GET request method can generate cached content on our network. All other request methods are simply proxied through our network.

• Due to the manner in which cache settings are tracked, this match condition is incompatible with the following features:

  • Default Internal Max-Age
  • Force Internal Max-Age
  • Ignore Origin No-Cache
  • Internal Max-Stale
