Arjun,
This is a good study up in caching: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ It says: If no validator (an ETag or Last-Modified header) is present on a response, and it doesn't have any explicit freshness information, it will usually — but not always — be considered uncacheable.This article breaks it down real well also: http://newestindustry.org/2006/10/03/using-client-side-cache-solutions-and-server-side-caching-configurations-to-improve-internet-performance/ I agree with this author that it is proper to distinguish between server side caching and client side caching. It took me over a decade to put this work together - No exaggeration. Check it out - don't trip over some strange new word that for lack of proper terminology is being analogously described.
