101502 - Mozilla shouldn't cache temporary redirects if Cache-control no-cache sent

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89419

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Tom Mraz]

When I have page with IMG tag which has src pointing to a CGI which just sends a
temporary redirect (status 307) to the real picture which should be shown,
Mozilla incorectly caches the redirect response although Cache-control:no-cache
has been sent. Thus the cgi script is not called again when I browse through the
pages again on that specified page. 
The only way how to achieve this is to set the cache preferences to: Compare the
page in the cache to the page on the network every time I view the page.
It seems to me that the Cache-control field is ignored on the redirect response.
Note I'm NOT talking about browsing using history back/forward. I use normal
navigation through links between pages.

Adding some dependancy on other bugs with temporary redirects and cache-control.
For example the correct fix to bug 94121 would enable to make workaround in my
application.

Mozilla never caches any sort of redirects, but imglib does the wrong thing.
