           Summary: Skip cache validation on back with HTTPS.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: agl at chromium.org


For back navigations over HTTP, WebKit sets a flag to use cached data
irrespective of whether it has expired. However, this isn't currently
done for HTTPS.

The logic in question was added in
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33993 and appears to have been
precautionary. However, both Firefox and IE will use this back
navigation trick for HTTPS as well and so we should probably behave
likewise.
