bypass for errors

I’m using apicache to cache an expense request to an upstream server that sometimes times out. However when the upstream request does timeout, I want to return an error response and not cache it so that the next time I will retry the upstream operation again.

So it’s not clear how to say from my route handler post-apicache middleware, “don’t cache the request this time.” I’ve tried adding apicache.clear(req.url); in my handler when I return my error response but that doesn’t appear to work.

it would be great if we could have an option to save in cache only responses with status 200, or add a handler function on the start configuration

See docs and/or Wiki for statusCode caching bypasses. This has been added!
