The caching is controlled by the user’s
browser. Most browsers do have caching turned on, so you’ll be fine.
When you are making network calls in a
Flex application they go through the browser. So any cookies that would be stored
in the browser normally will also be stored when Flex makes the call. You will
not have access to those cookies from a Flex app, you would need to write
external _javascript_ to access them. But the server will get them normally.

Deploying Flex Applications
Thanks for the response.
1. How do I verify that caching is enabled ?
2. When I refer to cookies, I am refering to
HTTP cookies. My
understanding from the read on the cookie subject
is that Flex has
its own cookies. When going through load
balancers / SSL proxies,
cookies play an important role, and I wanted to
verify that Flex (or
Flash I should say) would honor the cookies.
