ASP and web caching are like oil and water. You should not want your ASP
pages cached to begin with. ASP runs server-side and must check the session
cookie with each request to be able to "maintain state" with the user. If
the page is cached and the user gets it from the cache, then the ASP doesn't
run, the session cookie isn't tested and state isn't maintained. So ISA
probably isn't caching some of the pages because it knows that is the right
thing to do.

I am using ISS Server's pulishing feature to cache our dynamic website.
We have discovered that some pages were not being cached, and we tracked it
down to the fact that on the initial session there is a set-cookie header
returned. That is for session-variables, that we need for the working of our
site.
What solutions are there to not send that http header, and yet still use
session variables? Can you make it use another name? Any other idea?
Has anyone else grappled with this issue too?
Thanks!
