With Netscape 3.01, although I don't have access to
the https logs, according to "about:document" the inline images are not
cached unless I have "allow cacheing of secure images" turned on,
so they don't appear in "about:cache".
However, they *do* appear in "about:image-cache", which I guess is some
area in memory. 

Apart from this private cache, https pages won't be cached in 
hierarchical cache, and it's about 9 hops for me across town :-(
