# CachedMethods
<a name="API_CachedMethods"></a>

A complex type that controls whether CloudFront caches the response to requests using the specified HTTP methods. There are two choices:
+ CloudFront caches responses to `GET` and `HEAD` requests.
+ CloudFront caches responses to `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS` requests.

If you pick the second choice for your Amazon S3 Origin, you may need to forward Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers, and Origin headers for the responses to be cached correctly.
