Unable to set a default cache policy for requests without ResponseCache attribute?

[Plasma]

Hello,

By default it seems .NET Core omits any Cache-Control headers.

However, I want an explicit Cache-Control: private by default, unless overridden.

Is there a way to do this? It does not look like it.

Thank you

Are you using MVC? MVC has attributes where you can set these.

@Plasma There's also a middleware-based HTTP pipeline-based approach we show in the response caching doc using app.Run() [and use app.Map() if you want to apply to a subset of path segments]:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/performance/caching/middleware#configuration
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/middleware#run-map-and-use

May be worth highlighting proxies like CloudFlare.com will insert a public cache control header if it sees no cache header and "Cache everything" is turned on, so ideally private cache control was default out of the box.
