Why there's no “Cache-Control: no-cache” header in actuator health endpoint?












0















I just checked Spring Boot 1.x and 2.x releases. I was hoping to find a "Cache-Control: no-cache" header added to the actuator health endpoints. After all, it really doesn't make sense to cache this endpoint. But any of these endpoints can be behind nginx or apache and can be cached.



Can anyone explain me why this header is not there? Is there a downside to adding no-cache header to this endpoint?
