Hi Sergey - The response.reset did the trick. I reset the context response then built the ws.rs response using the response builder like before. The cache control header is gone. Thank you very much.
Any explanation why this cleanup is needed and why the ResponseBuilders is using the context response headers? We have other request-response compiling some download files, running just HttpServletResponse and these seams to work fie with the IE8 no-cache limitation just fine by setting it to false. In any case... The reset solved it for the REST response as well.

But the test is using the emdedded Jetty. Thus it seems like the servlet container that you use forces this value. I'm looking at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3788766/forcing-no-cache-for-internet-explorer-over-https-with-http-response-headers I guess what you can try to do is to have @Context HttpServletResponse response; injected and then do response.reset() before continuing using Response, just to verify it works. If it does then you may consider coding against the injected HttpServletResponse only. I'd also consider not injecting HttpServletResponse and instead creating a custom Servlet filter which would only do response.reset() before delegating further. Let me know if it helps Sergey On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 12:46 PM, Sergey Beryozkin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Sorry for a delay... > > On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 8:10 AM, Tamar Furman (tfurman) > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi - >> >> I'm straggling this problem for several days and will appreciate any >> help. >> >> I'm using CXF 2.2.6 providing REST services over https.
