Description

According to #254 , it has been observed that Firefox will use heuristic freshness if there isn't a Cache-Control directive. This is a likely problem for Solid, and we need to come up with proper recommendations for how to use it.

This issue is to register that problem, so #254 can be closed as we find a solution.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #254 and reviewing the reported Firefox behavior when no Cache-Control directive is present. Determine the Solid-specific caching problem and document agreed recommendations for using Cache-Control; done means the recommendation is clear enough for #254 to be resolved.
