Enable caching of POST responses.

How it works

By default, a POST request is passed through an Akamai server to the origin and the response is served back to the client with no caching. With this behavior enabled, you can override the default, and cache POST responses and serve them to subsequent requests. To use this behavior, you must enable the Allow POST behavior.

📘
To cache a POST response with this feature, the POST request can't exceed 16 kilobytes in size.
