Set the HTTP methods that this content generator should support. Default is GET and POST.

public final void setUseCacheControlHeader(boolean useCacheControlHeader)

Note: Cache headers will only get applied if caching is enabled for the current request.

Set whether to use the HTTP 1.0 expires header. Default is true.

Note: Cache headers will only get applied if caching is enabled for the current request.
