Usually this is done on resources where the webmaster knows what they
are doing and is completely confident that the data MUST NOT be stored.
You know, the stuff the contains *private* user details and such.

Expires: header causes HTTP/1.0 caches to remove the content immediately
(or not store in the first place).

Cache-Control:private does the same thing for HTTP/1.1 caches except for
browsers. Which in HTTP/1.1 are allowed to store private data unless the
"Cache-Control:no-store" or "Expires:" controls are also used.
