It seems that there are lots of information out there that categorically says that there is no caching while using HTTPS. However, I also found this:
http://blog.httpwatch.com/2011/01/28/top-7-myths-about-https/ This seems to go more in line with what I can observe in the chrome network resource tab: When navigating to previously visited pages under https, the resources I would expect to be cached, are loaded from cache, even extending rails-rendered pages that are set in the controller using: expires_in 60.minutes, :public => true So, at least there is some caching being done in the browser. Does anybody know if Varnish will also cache those rails-render pages? (Matt: I am hoping you chime in here specifically. I really want to apply most of what you describe in http://merbist.com/2011/07/11/first-step-in-scaling-a-web-site-http-caching/).
