I believe Mark's argument was that web browsers are violating the some
spec if they cache secure pages. Tomcat should not have to set such
cache-control headers for secure requests, so it's being instructed not
to do so.

The fact that RFC 2616 does not mention anything about HTTPS and caching
is not surprising -- it's the HTTP RFC not the HTTPS RFC. Honestly, I
couldn't find anywhere a reference to any spec that explicitly says what
Mark suggests, but it was my general understanding to be the case.
