Safari browser never caches my Flex application, other browsers do
Just went live with my first app, and I noticed whenever I click on the web link to open my app, Safari always downloads the swf file. Safari never pulls the swf file from cache after the first click.
I went to other sites on the web, and their flex apps do get cached correctly in Safari.
However, my app DOES cache correctly for all the other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE).
Anyone see this before or know how to correct it?
Note that (1) I don't have Private browsing enabled, (2) I verified in Safari's dev tools that cache is enabled, (3) my .htaccess file uses expires headers that request html files to always download (e.g. ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 seconds"), although changing this from 0 seconds to 1 month had no effect.

This is not my area at all, but did you see this?

ver-https
Or maybe Safari has some setting that controls that.

Good idea Om, I went to
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex.html
and tested the link for "See who is using Tour de Flex right now" because it takes a little while to load and shows an easy to read preloader progress bar.
Safari didn't have a problem pulling from cache on the 2nd load.
My .htaccess file includes:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mycompany\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mycompany.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect permanent /index.html https://www.mycompany.com/home/
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
</IfModule>
FileETag None
<FilesMatch "\.(html|swf)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, public"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 seconds"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule>

Can you try any other website (ex. flex.apache.org/installer.html) to see
if you can reproduce this issue? If you can, then something is wrong with
the browser settings. If not, you will have to further tweak your
.htaccess files.

Unfortunately I can't post URL because the site is password protected per client's instructions until it's ready to go public.

Interesting, I'm observing that serving webpages over HTTPS:// causes Safari to never cache, whereas over HTTP:// Safari does cache. Unfortunately, I need to redirect all HTTP to HTTPS on my website.

I should have mentioned the expire header for swf files is set in .htaccess to 1 month, so this shouldn't be the cause.
