The storage manager doesn't touch HTTP headers.

Ok. All the storage manager does is cache and supply entire untouched
responses from the network. From what I can gather, this works fine for
HTTP/1.0 but not for some of the HTTP/1.1 features.

Tell ya what, now that I've got the storage manager laid to waste in modio,
how about we all figure out what the storage manager *should* supply so
I can turn it into something useful for HTTP/1.1 ? There's no real point
in trying to continue making more HTTP/1.1 features work with the storage
manager we have.
