This is to demostrate the use of the Cache-Control header To try it out, setup the application

npm install

Run the application

node server

Open http://localhost:3000 in a browser

Hit the "Call REST" button Based on the max-age setup when you will hit the "Call REST" Browser will refresh by fetching new counter value or Get the data from the browser cache

In order to understand the behavior
