Unfortunately still true; the servlet API should
be able to hide HTTP details.
In this particular problem I want to be able to tell:
ServletContext.ensureResponsesAreNotCached() during a servlet's
init() or HttpServletResponse.ensureNotCached() during doMethod()
and focus on application logic not on implementing HTTP.
What's an application environment value if the application writer
needs to be an HTTP "venerable guru" to make sure each simple UI event
such as clicking an icon has in result the call of a doGet() method in a
servlet?
