Cached WFS GetCapabilities

[qgib]

Original Redmine Issue: 15818
Affected QGIS version: 2.16.1
Redmine category:web_services_clients/wfs

I have a WFS server with a PostGIS data source. Layers are often added, and when I call the WFS GetCapabilities directly in a web-browser I see the new layers.

However in QGIS when I connect to the WFS server I can't see the new layers. It is as if the layers was cached on first connect, and the cache never expires.

In my opinion there should be no cache on WFS GetCapabilities.

Problem was with expiration headers.

Not a QGIS bug.
