                                        CONFIDENTIAL
                                </transport-guarantee>
                        </user-data-constraint>
        </security-constraint>

Although it is https (CONFIDENTIAL), it doesn't have any
<auth-constraint><role-name>...
yet the valve FormAuthenticator (extends AuthenticatorBase, 5.0.24, line 458)
only tests for existence of constraints, not roles:

       if ((constraints == null) /* &&
            (!Constants.FORM_METHOD.equals(config.getAuthMethod())) */ ) {
            if (log.isDebugEnabled())
                log.debug(" Not subject to any constraint");
            context.invokeNext(request, response);
            return;
        }

        // Make sure that constrained resources are not cached by web proxies
        // or browsers as caching can provide a security hole
        HttpServletRequest hsrequest = 
(HttpServletRequest)hrequest.getRequest();
        if (disableProxyCaching && 
            // FIXME: Disabled for Mozilla FORM support over SSL 
            // (improper caching issue)
            //!hsrequest.isSecure() &&
            !"POST".equalsIgnoreCase(hsrequest.getMethod())) {
            HttpServletResponse sresponse = 
                (HttpServletResponse) response.getResponse();
            sresponse.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache");
            sresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
            sresponse.setHeader("Expires", DATE_ONE);
        }


As a result, it is not allowing caching of static ressources in the patterns.
