Reported by ###@###.### In http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/enhancements6.html "The <no-cache> directive is now honored. If a downloaded resource contains the no-cache directive, it will not be put in the cache" Commented by ###@###.### This is not correct. It should be "no-store" instead: If a downloaded resource contains the no-store directive, it will not be put in the cache. Reported by ###@###.### In http://www.java.com/en/download/help/6000070100.xml "The no-cache directive is now supported. When the no-cache directive is used, an update check is made to make sure the cached contents are same as at the URL. The resource is then downloaded into the cache and the expiration field is ignored. " Commented by ###@###.### This is almost correct. no-cache means the cached contents cannot be used without revalidation. So if cached content is available, an update check will be made to ensure the server copy is the same as the cached copy. If so, cached copy can be used. If not, server copy will be downloaded. Expiration field is ignored, which means that even if the cached resource is not expired, update check will still be performed.
