Summary "Cache-Control: public" doesn't save content to disk for SSL site

Firefox 3+, Chrome and IE all store content that has a Response Header of Cache-Control: public in the browser disk cache so that repeated visits to the same site (such as a Web 2.0 SaaS service) results in much faster load times. Safari is the only browser that does not respect this control. This includes Safari 3.2+ and Safari alpha 4.0+ on Mac OS X and Windows. This seems like a trivial change (but could be more complicated than I think) and would mimic behavior of all other major browsers. The URL https://trial.rallydev.com/slm/ has the appropriate headers set for static content. To reproduce: 1) With clean cache, visit https://trial.rallydev.com/slm/ in Firefox and Safari 2) Notice in Inspector and Firebug that all static content includes the header "Cache-Control: max-age=86401, public" or "Cache-Control: public" 3) Quit browsers and restart browsers. Visit https://trial.rallydev.com/slm/ again. 4) Notice in Inspector that Safari downloads all components again, while Firefox (correctly) only downloads the dynamic content See following URLs for more info: http://blog.pluron.com/2008/07/why-you-should.html http://blog.httpwatch.com/2009/01/15/https-performance-tuning/ (Tip #3)
