I've posted a patch in january to correct this problem. A copy is attached
to this message.

In the archive you'll find 3 '.diff' files.
'AlwaysUseETag.diff' is to patch an unmodified wwwoffle.
'AlwaysUseETag-Over404.diff' is to patch a version which has already been
patched with Paul Rombouts "Preserve cache patch".
And the third one is to patch you wwwoffle.conf file and add comments for
the new option.
