Cache-Control: no-store

[ Forwarded from a mail-thread on necko-devs.
The topic is how to understand the http-header
"Cache-Control: no-store". ]

So, if I understand you both correctly, the
expected behaviour is to not store such responses
at all, not even in the mem-cache?

What about our nsIRequest.INHIBIT_PERSISTENT_CACHING
flag? Should we allow responses to such requests to
be stored in mem-cache?
