305422 - XMLHttpRequest always sets "Cache-Control: no-cache" and "Pragma: no-cache"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268844

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Rolsky]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050730 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050730 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-2)

Even if I set an "If-Modified-Since" header these additional headers are always
set.  I thought this had been resolved since bug 268844 was closed, but
apparently it's still happening.

Note that this appears to be mostly a cosmetic problem.  At least with Apache,
it ignores the Cache-Control & Pragma headers when If-Modified-Since is given. 
But it still seems like a bug, and I wouldn't be surprised if other web server
acted differently.

Reproducible: Always

It was fixed on the trunk, so it will be fixed in 1.5: 1.0.6 is still off a
prior branch.
