We are actually using WebSphere and IIS (and using javax.servlet.http.Cookie
objects as well).
I would guess that what happens is that WebSphere sets some haders in the
Response that marks the page as non-cacheable. The question is, is there
any way to turn this off? Servlet API does not provide a way to examine the
headers in a Response, and beisdes, WebSphere could be doing this after
service() exits.
