Microsoft's proxy caches responses from requests with cookie headers if no cache-control / Expires / pragma: no-cache / etc. is present in the response. We've been operating this way since October and have seen no problems with it...

Can someone answer this simple question: If I make a request for a page with a Cookie header, is the result cacheable in a public cache ? e.g. I pick up a cookie with path=/ from some org, then get a GIF (which has no Set-Cookie, Expires now, Cache-control, etc.), can it be cached ? I think I had misunderstood the mechanism somewhat; if I want to use the cookie in a page, should I make that page uncacheable with Expires, Cache-Control, etc. ?? Andrew
