Why both no-cache and no-store should be used in HTTP response?
I'm told to prevent user-info leaking, only "no-cache" in response is not enough. "no-store" is also necessary. Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store After reading this spec http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html, I'm still not quite sure why. My current understanding is that it is just for intermediate cache server. Even...

When serving JavaScript files, is it better to use the application/javascript or application/x-javascript
