Caching Control

APXY can strip cache-related headers (Cache-Control, ETag, If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since, etc.) from requests and responses to force the server to return fresh data.

Web UI

Caching control is managed from the CLI. The Web UI does not have a dedicated caching page.

CLI

Disable caching


# Disable caching for all traffic
apxy caching disable-cache
 
# Disable caching for a specific host
apxy caching disable-cache --host api.example.com

Flag	Default	Description
`--host`	(all)	Apply to a specific host only

Re-enable caching


apxy caching enable-cache

Use Cases

Debug stale data

When you suspect a cache is serving old data:


apxy caching disable-cache --host api.example.com
# Reproduce the issue — if it resolves, the cache was the problem
apxy caching enable-cache

Force fresh responses during development

Ensure you always see the latest API responses while developing:


apxy caching disable-cache
# Develop and test with guaranteed fresh data
apxy caching enable-cache
