Can a resource be made available offline by using cache-control HTTP headers?

Question

I'm aware of HTML5 app cache, which can be used for creating offline applications through the use of a cache manifest file.

Is there a way to make the browser load a resource offline (from cache when the Internet is disconnected) using just standard HTTP headers? If so, what headers should I be sending?

Answer 1

This is not possible through the use of standard HTTP caching headers.
