I just did a call to the member tracking API:

http://wiki.eve-id.net/APIv2_Corp_MemberTracking_XML

This uses the:

Quote:
Modified Short Cache Style
The same in almost every respect to the short cache style, this particular caching style changes the cachedUntil timer semantics slightly. Instead of telling you when the data will be updated, you will always be told the cache interval. In effect, this is used to spread out requests on global pages that are hit often.
For example, this style is used on the map data pages. CCP wants to prevent stampeding (everybody requesting the same resource at the same time). As long as you obey the cachedUntil timer, all will be well



Here is the interesting bit of the returned html:

public 'currentTime' => string '2012-03-25 00:48:10' (length=19)

public 'cachedUntil' => string '2012-03-25 05:49:30' (length=19)

A 5 hour (might be 4, don't know if CCP include DST) long cache?... am I missing something?

I just got a 6 hour cache time (i.e. cachedUntil was 6 hours in the future) on a call to /char/AssetList.xml.aspx

Seems excessive and makes it rather hard to track my inventory.

Is this working as intended?

The cache time is 6 hours but if it's already been cached you'll see some different times. BTW be glad that most of the APIs don't just return error messages when you ignore the cacheUntil time like they use to.

Just so you know everything in the APIs is done in UTC which doesn't have daylight savings time.
