Do you know for sure that your browser actually *sent* this header? That
will typically happen only when the URL has previously been retrieved,
*and* the previous output for that URL included a "Date" for the browser
to use on subsequent requests. You also need to be sure you've configured
your browser not to unconditionally read the page on every request.

Can't help you without details (and don't use IE anyway), but there is
nothing Tomcat can do if the browser really does submit the request twice
-- you will need to program around that.
