Yes, as far as I know forever. This is not suggested for dynamic content then.

What about something along the lines:

html iframe
	src: (html context actionUrl withParameter: (canvas callbacks
registerActionCallback: [
		self session returnResponse: (WAResponse
			document: ...
			mimeType: ...
			fileName: ....) ]))

This only caches the block that is freed on session timeout and only
accessing the URL generates the document. This is especially useful
for links, when you don't always want to generate the document.
