The description indicates in what direction the CPM should get fixed:

    This is arguable, especially as it changes the current behaviour.
Maybe, it should be controlled by an additional configuration option.


I don't know if it is possible to have any sane policy about "what to do if the response already has caching headers". First of all, when should this exception policy trigger? Which headers should tell the CPM that someone else already decided on caching? Secondly, what is the behavior supposed to be? "Do nothing"? "DWIM"? This obviously needs exact specifications and use cases.

At the moment, the CPM fires after rendering, so setting it's own headers and overwriting any headers set in the template. If it fired before rendering, then a template would be free to set whatever policy it wanted.

Is there a special reason why it needs to set the headers after rendering, rather than before? I can't think of a reason, but then our policies are about as simple as can be.
