Hello,

## I noticed that my Mac OS X Tiger installation of Rails includes a Cache-Control: no-cache HTTP Response header by default in responses coming from actions and .rhtml templates. This is a good thing 🙂 but I just wondered how to set these defaults, find out the other defaults for headers, and optionally override them in my web application.
