Setting on-device cache directives

If you create your own channels, you can control caching with the use of cache-control HTTP headers; see Caching to Improve Channel Performance.

Note

Many pages marked handheld friendly do not, for the purpose of controlling caching, include headers.

In environments where online browsing on mobile devices is common, users may attempt to browse a cached page that has expired. To control how Web pages are cached, M-Business Server provides on-device cache settings.
