Description

Currently, Shale Remoting's support for dynamic calls (mapped to a method
binding expression) expressly skip setting a Date header on the corresponding
response. In theory, this should avoid the browser caching previous responses
for the same URL – but apparently some versions of IE do this caching anyway.

Suggestion is to have the Processor for dynamic responses emit the same headers
that Struts 1.x does when "no-cache" support is requested:

Pragma: No-Cache
Cache-Control: no-cache,no-store,max-age-0
Expires: <<<date for the long value 1>>>
