Web API 2 Caching

Question

We have a requirements that some Web API responses should never be cached .

When we checked the headers in the response of a Web API 2 calls , we found that there is no Cache-Control headers.

Does this mean that Web API 2 results are not cached by default or do we need to send the header Cache-Control : no-cache , no-store will every response to ensure that results are not cached

It's not cached by default.

If you want to use caching,you need to write logic or include libraries for it.

Ok... thanks , Any idea if the absence of cache control headers will lead to caching – Sabarish Sathasivan Oct 25 '16 at 12:09
I don't think that if cache control headers are missing, it will cache the data. – Mitesh Prajapati Oct 25 '16 at 12:15
