  I am assuming the second sentence was intended to read "the pages are NOT
cached".

  Given the fact that these dynamically generated objects are cached when
using HTTP, it is not the dynamic nature of the objects which is throwing
things off.  I doubt Apache's mod_ssl is over-riding the regular headers
(although I suppose it is possible).

  That leaves only one thing: The user agent (i.e., the browser).  I suspect
the browsers are deliberately not caching objects transfered using SSL, as a
security measure.

  Sorry.
