HTTP is not designed to be transparently cached. Part of the cache
validation which takes place between the browser and the proxy cache is
only defined when talking to a cache (i..e manual proxy configuration).

Of the browsers used today it is only IE prior to 5.01 (I think) which
pays attention to this. Netscape sends the same of cache validation
controls even when not talking to a proxy.
