Not unless your server explicitly allows it. See Cache-Control in RFC2616.
Squid supports some of it..

Most notable is "Cache-control: public". This tells shared caches such as
Squid that even thou the request contained Authorization information the
reply is public (do not require authorization) and may be cached. This can in
theory be combined with other options to force the cache to verify that the
client really is authorized to use the cached reply.
