Provide the ability to ignore caching by default about httpcacheheaders HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm really looking forward to this feature. I'm in the same situation that only several action methods need caching.

My current workaround without the use of a base controller is to set the default configuration for e.g. max-age to 0 when registering the service.
That way the caching headers are still present but don't have any impact:

builder.Services.AddHttpCacheHeaders(
  expirationModelOptions =>
  {
    expirationModelOptions.MaxAge = 0;
    expirationModelOptions.NoStore = true;
    expirationModelOptions.NoTransform = true;
    expirationModelOptions.SharedMaxAge = 0;
    expirationModelOptions.CacheLocation = CacheLocation.Private;
  },
  validationModelOptions =>
  {
    validationModelOptions.NoCache = true;
  });

On action methods that need caching, I override this configuration with corresponding HttpCacheExpiration and HttpCacheValidation attributes.

An explicit feature to ignore caching by default would of course be a much better way.

Hi Sean,

there isn't at the moment, but I like the suggestion - I'll put it on the list of features to add.

@KevinDockx I have a branch with an implementation of this, would you like a PR?

I'm looking forward to see this feature implemented as well 👍

@SeanFarrow : thanks for the PR, I accepted it! I've put some time aside next Tuesday to have a look in some more detail at this & a few other open issues in order to release a new version soon :)

FYI, I had a look, fixed a small issue (HttpCacheExpiration/Valdation attributes should override the global setting & renamed the option: https://github.com/KevinDockx/HttpCacheHeaders/blob/master/src/Marvin.Cache.Headers/HttpCacheHeadersMiddleware.cs#L117. Next to that all is well, this will be in the next release - I'll release an preview in a few hours. Thanks again!
