[TYPO3-dev] Testing TYPO3 caching vs. [FE][pageCacheToExternalFiles]

[Ries van Twisk]

Michael ,

from what I read is that cache control headers only work if the page 
doesn't contain any user_int objects.

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/current/view/7/3/
The conditions for allowing client caching are:
  page was cached
  No *_INT or *_EXT objects were on the page (eg. USER_INT)
  No frontend user is logged in
  No backend user is logged in

Unfortunatly if you have a community site I can't meet any of the above.
First I have USER_INT objects to show advertisements and other dynamic 
goodies.
Second I have FE users logged in to the system all the time

Bascily cache control headers work only if you have a truely static site.

Am I correct?
