Description

[Simon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When downloading a document (PDF, Word, etc) from an https site, the file is cached and can be accessed again at a later date dispite whether disk_cache_ssl is set to true or false.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.projectaware.org/uploadedFiles/Home/Grants/Download_Application/GrantApplicationAndInstructions.pdf, select open with Acrobat, file will open and also show in the downloads folder...
2. If I download another file, the above PDF still shows --even after the browser is closed.
3.
Actual Results:  
As described above

Expected Results:  
Files sent over https should not cached with disk_cache_ssl in at least one state! This is bcause the file could then be accessed by someone who has access to the computer other than the immediate user.
