Can the client browser request for bypassing local/proxy cache and fetching data directly from server?
In the HTTP request if there is a Cache-control: no cache or Cache-control:max-age=0 or Pragma:No cache then the local and intermediate proxy cache content will not be used to serve the response. Content will be taken from web server. What should I specify to ensure that my web pages are not cached anywhere? Cache-control: no store is the best option. Are browser History and Cache related? History contains the list of URLs which you visited for a pre-defined time [Interet explorer by default keeps for last 20 days]. It does not contain any text or images of the URLs visited. Cache contains the URL, text and images. The cache cannot be searched manually [unless you use specific tools], but the browser searches it when you issue a new request. Can pages accessed through HTTPS be cached? Pages accessed using HTTPS cannot be seen by the intermediate proxies since they are encrypted. So they cannot anyway cache them. At the local browser these HTTPS get decrypted and can be cached depending
