Well, that's not really correct either. In the case of my home page, I use
a nph cgi script. That means all the headers are created by the script. The
browser has no way of knowing that this page was created by a cgi script.
What determines if it is cached or not is what header values are sent and
how the user has configured his or her own browser.
