Hi list members,

I'm running a web application under Tomcat 5.5.17 using SSL. (No
mod_jk) The issue i experience is that i want to remove the header
elements:

Pragma    No-cache
Cache-Control    no-cache

I've seen a post mentioning a configuration change at server.xml but
it didn't solve my issue.

Can someone help me to achieve removing the cache related headers?
This will probably speed up my portal quite a bit for IE browsers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, this took a while for me to figure out, but finally i managed to solve this.

The thing is that i've configured the web application web.xml file to add a secuirty constraint in order to reroute all http requests to https requests. Now, i figured out, Tomcat adds the following headers to the http request:

<code>
Pragma    No-cache
Cache-Control    no-cache
</code>

Now, Microsoft's IE doesn't cache pages of witch those mentioned headers are sent. This was making my application responding quite slow.

Well, to remove those http request headers above i did the following:

Added the following to the context.xml file that resides in the $tomcat_home/conf directory.

<code>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator" disableProxyCaching="false" />
</code>
