typed_config

(Any) Config specific to the cache storage implementation.

allowed_vary_headers

(type.matcher.v3.StringMatcher) List of matching rules that defines allowed Vary headers.

The vary response header holds a list of header names that affect the contents of a response, as described by https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7234.html#caching.negotiated.responses.

During insertion, allowed_vary_headers acts as a allowlist: if a response’s vary header mentions any header names that aren’t matched by any rules in allowed_vary_headers, that response will not be cached.

During lookup, allowed_vary_headers controls what request headers will be sent to the cache storage implementation.
