Major Description
For my JAXRS services I need to add the no-cache directive to all responses. I've implemented a ResponseHandler that adds a CacheControl object with setNoCache(true) to the response. When verifying the response headers I see that the header "Cache-Control" is set to "public;no-cache=". My application client which is a Flex/Flash application continues to cache the XML its being sent from my services.
I don't believe that "no-cache=" is valid in the HTTP 1.1 spec http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html. The "=" should only appear if optional field names are also specified.
I got the source and modified the CacheControlHeaderProvider to only include the "=" when the optional fields were specified and everything works. The flex client is no longer caching the XML responses from my JAXRS services.
