Bug 142989 – [WK2] The WebKit network cache does not cache responses with "Content-Disposition: attachment" header

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Chris Dumez]

The WebKit network cache does not cache responses with "Content-Disposition: attachment" header. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to cache such responses.

This is causing a decent amount of cache miss in the wild. I have noticed for example that when loading disney.com, we fail to cache the following resources because of this policy:
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/osd.js
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_companion_ad.js

HTTP headers for these resources:

==============
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/osd.js:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
P3P: policyref="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/p3p.xml", CP="NOI DEV PSA PSD IVA IVD OTP OUR OTR IND OTC"

==============

Given the "Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600" header, these resources are clearly meant to be cacheable.

I don't remember why I prevented this in the first place.

Maybe we should move the tests to a directory of their own so we can disable them all with one line.
