cacheable

From Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (1999-06-15) | Glossary for this source

A response is cacheable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The rules for determining the cacheability of HTTP responses are defined in section 13. Even if a resource is cacheable, there may be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached copy for a particular request.
