System and method for selectively storing web objects in a cache memory based on policy decisions

摘要

A system and method for selectively storing one or more web objects in a memory is disclosed. A server response is received at a network traffic management device, wherein the server response is associated with a client request sent from a client device and includes at least one web object. The server response is analyzed using a security module of the network traffic management device which determines if the at least a portion of the server response contains suspicious content in relation to one or more defined policy parameters handled by the security module. An instruction is sent from the security module to a cache module of the network traffic management device upon determining that the at least a portion of the server response contains suspicious information, wherein the cache module does not store the at least one web object upon receiving the instruction.
