I have just checked 3 MSIE:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461)
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)
All of them had recevied responses like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 09:51:59 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.22 (Unix)
Vary: Content-Encoding
Cache-Control: max-age=86400
Expires: Sat, 15 Jun 2002 09:51:59 GMT
Last-Modified: Tue, 09 Apr 2002 14:15:31 GMT
ETag: "1d3a9-65d-3cb2f783"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 1629
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=koi8-r
All of MSIE do not cache responses. They even do not
send "If-Modified-Since" header.
Can you show me URL with "Vary" and "Expires" that MSIE would cache.

How can I log a real "Accept-Encoding" header if you unset it ?
