What can i do to forces Akamai Servers to change the images header so it can be cached in the browser.

Answer 1

Generally Akamai preserve Cache-Control header. If you don't setup Cache-Control your application/web server, is very recommendation that you do. But, if you want create specific policies using Akamai, you will need to enable the "Set Browser Cache Control Headers".
