Akamai ignores your Expires and default maxage when origin sends Cache-Control
If you want Akamai to cache, fix the origin Cache-Control headers first, no property TTL setting can override them. Use the Honor directives behavior only when you mean what the origin says.
Context: Akamai edge servers will not cache objects when the origin response carries no-store or no-cache in Cache-Control, or private when Honor private is enabled. Your Expires header and the Default maxage setting are ignored entirely if any of those Cache-Control directives is present. Teams set a generous TTL in the property config and then wonder why nothing caches, because the origin app is sending no-cache on every response.Maintainer review
