RFC 2616 says: "The 303 response MUST NOT be cached, but the response to the second (redirected) request might be cacheable." HTTPBis says: "A 303 response SHOULD NOT be cached unless it is indicated as cacheable by Cache-Control or Expires header fields." Of course most tooling will not cache 303s as it's been a MUST NOT for 13+ years. Best, Nathan
