since #26, the no-cache directive is correctly handled. the response is not cached. but no-cache is meant to force re-validation - the response might still be stored but needs to be revalidated each time.

AFAIK you can actually cache the result if response has no-cache directive. It just means you must always revalidate before actually using the cached result. If origen server returns 304 Not Modified you can use the cached result.
