Firefox adding no-cache headers to all http POSTs?

Our server-side cache is configured to invalidate appropriate cached data on PUT/POST/DELETE, but is also set to obey no-cache headers and ignore the cache entirely.

Firefox is the only browser that is forcefully appending no-cache headers to all POST requests, resulting in the cache not invalidating properly. Is there some standard that suggests a POST should include no-cache directives, or is this something I can't work around?

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:

  • Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload button with a left click.

OR

  • Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)
  • Press Command + Shift + R (Mac)
