It's a browser configuration thing, but I think you're right about the default.

Maybe a more intelligent approach would be to use "don't cache" if the server doesn't specify any caching headers. Otherwise, follow the server's recommendation.



Its not something that could be changed from the current "default" without high risk of big impact.

There would be need to introduce a new header to trigger SSL based caching, and migrate towards simply not sending the old/normal cache header.
