APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • HTTP cache related headers ensure that pages containing
sensitive or user-identifiable information are not cached by
intermediary proxy server or local web browsers. Inadvertent
page caching on HTTP proxy servers leads to sensitive data
being cached and re-displayed to other users of the proxy
server. Local caching by the web browser can potentially expose
data in shared environments or by using the "back" button
subsequent to logging out of the application.
