API caching: Omit certain parts of headers or response payload before caching

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have observed that the Invoke policy (API Gateway) caches documents only if a message to be forwarded to a backend does not contain a Header with name "Authorization".

As most of our backends require the "Authorization" Header, we have built complicated workarounds, like proxy APIs, to enable caching even for these backends.

Example:

- I request from a target url via invoke policy the org data from a backend which needs Basic Authentication via Authorization header.

- As a reponse I retrieve the org data:

{
"org": [
{
"orgname": "myorg",
"orgnumber": "123"
},
{
"orgname": "myorg2",
"orgnumber": "456"
}
]
}

- I want this response to the invoke call being cached

- The second request I make to get this org data should be come from the cache and not calling the backend again

- Currently this response is not able to be cached due to the existing Authorization header

 

IDEA:
---------

- Implement a caching configuration that certain parts of the API response can be omitted before caching: e.g. specific headers, parts of the response payload
