Description

I hit a major bug with proxies after trying our website with tapestry 4 + friendly URLs. Our ISA server is configured to proxy agressively and as a consequence, tapestry pages got cached although their content is dynamic. After comparing this to another webserver for which the caching did not occur, the other webserver had a "Cache-Control" directive.
I suggest for tapestry to add a "Cache-Control" header equals to "private,no-cache,no-store" when a page is requested and "max-age=3600" for assets.
