Does IE cache HTTPS content?

[spidey07]

Seems like ssl pages aren't cached at all. Meaning a darn 200K graphical header is downloaded every time on every page?

Is this normal for ssl?

Secure stuff is pretty much session only. Need to download it every time for security reasons.

I'm glad it is.

It wouldn't be very secure if your bank account balance got cached in IE, would it now? 😀

That's what I was seeing as well. So even navigating a single SSL site, each page pulls everything, everytime?

Why the hell did developers put this fat 200k graphic on every single page? each click of the mouse downloads another 200k - hell on modem folks.

arghh.

that is an interesting feature
so an easy was to insure someone doesn't cache your web page is to just run it from https instead of http

cool
