Right now none of the calls gadgets.io.makeRequest() makes are cacheable in the browser. This is very different from iGoogle/gmodules.com and is causing us issues. The patch insures that content is fetched in such a way that the browser will cache it. I attached the patch to SHINDIG-162, however this is only a stopgap and there may be a much better way of achieving these goals.
