thanks for the confirmation, I'll need to document this trick...

The reset() thing is needed because the underlying servlet container
makes the decision for whatever reasons to set no-cache to true.

This is just a theory but I suspect that if it's a plain GET over
HTTPs then the container thinks there's no need to enable the caching
so it sets the no-cache to true. In some other cases (which you are
referring to and where setting no-cache to false explicitly works) the
container is probably does not set no-cache to true...May be because
the multiparts are involved and thus no caching is needed, etc...

ResponseBuilder is not doing anything but collecting a list of
headers, status and the entity if any. Whatever ResponseBuilder has
collected is later copied to the outbound message in
JAXRSOutInterceptor, and it's really in the CXF HTTP transport
destination code where the headers are finally copied to the actual
HTTPServletResponse...

thanks, Sergey
