Use Pragma: no-cache only when appropriate
------------------------------------------
Key: WAGONHTTP-10
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGONHTTP-10
Project: wagon-http
Type: Improvement
Environment: Maven 2.0.4, Mac OS X 10.4.6
Reporter: Gordon Henriksen
Maven issues all of its HTTP GET requests with a Pragma: no-cache field in the
header. This makes it impossible to use a caching reverse proxy in lieu of a
complete ibiblio mirror.
Brett notes:
> It should actually be something that is configured on the wagon.get()
> request, actually, so that Maven could send it for snapshots and

I'm not much attached to a global configuration switch to globally disable the
option, since Maven knows more about its usage than the proxy possibly can.
Nonetheless, very few, if any, requests to ibiblio should be marked as no-cache.
