Set the header for web page so that IE doesn't cache the page but AKAMAI still does?

I'm setting the headers for a web page to CacheControlMaxAge 900 secs. This works well with Akamai and all the browsers ignore this setting except IE which caches the page for 9 minutes.

What I want is to have only Akamai cache the page for 9 minutes and no caching done by the browser (IE this is the one we have troubles with).

Web server: IIS 7

Akamai lets you separately set the Browser Cache Control Headers (how long before browser revisits an Akamai edge server for a file) and edge server Time To Live Rules (how long before the edge server revisits the origin for a file).

If what you want is for the browser to never cache and for the edge servers to refresh from your origin every 9 minutes, here's what you do:

  1. Under Browser Cache Control Headers, choose "Add cache busting headers to cacheable content and remove the default Akamai caching headers". That'll put no-cache and no-store in your page headers.
  2. Under Time To Live Rules, set the server TTL to 9 minutes.
