Even though PHP 4.0.0 doesn't have access to session_cache_limiter(), I can
still set the value inside an apache <Directory> block.
php_value session.cache_limiter "public"
So this works inside my httpd.conf keeping my other dynamic data from being
cached yet allowing the browser to cache the PDF (which is ok to cache as I
assume the user is finished and wants permanent data anyway)
<IfDefine SSL>
<VirtualHost 192.168.3.8:443>
<lots of other SSL stuff>
<Directory /path/to/my/files/pdfs>
AllowOverride All
php_value session.cache_limiter "public"
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>
