Dear Colleagues, While accessing the FreeBSD package database via a corporate HTTP proxy, I have noticed that all fetches are cache misses (see below). I think this is because of the "Cache-Control: max-age=0" directive. While I can probably understand the reason to never cache repository metadata, I completely fail to see what the problem is with caching packages proper. Taking into account the amount of packages I install and upgrade on several identical systems, caching them would sufficiently save bandwidth. Any comments please?
