I'm trying to get my header rounder Caching. I have the following code in vb.net:

With HttpContext.Current.Response .Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public) .Cache.SetRevalidation(HttpCacheRevalidation.AllCaches) .Cache.SetLastModified(Now) .Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(120)) .Cache.SetMaxAge(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120)) End With

Which returns the following headers:

Cache-Control: public, no-cache="Set-Cookie", must-revalidate, max-age=120 Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 Expires: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 13:54:36 GMT Last-Modified: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 13:52:36 GMT

But I'm trying to figure out what is setting no-cache="Set-Cookie" and how can I switch that on or off?

The no-cache="Set-Cookie" tells the browser not to cache the server "Set-Cookie" header, but follow different rules for the rest of the request. Here's a discussion from W3C http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Issues/cache-private.html

In http 1.1, Roy has proposed some features for the new cache-control directive that allow servers to selectively disable caching on specific headers. This would be, for example: cache-control: no-cache="set-cookie"

The way I understood that document you linked is that if the "Set-Cookie" header is present then the entire response is not cached. Would be good to get clarification on that and also browser support.
