Description Matthew Flaschen 2014-11-18 23:48:50 UTC
We don't want our POST responses to be cacheable.  Apparently, IE does cache POST responses for certain response headers (which may even be allowed, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/626057/is-it-possible-to-cache-post-methods-in-http ) so we need to set the headers such that no browser will cache it.

Potentially, we could look at doing this in core.
