I don't get it - why is this necessary when (certainly from our stats, and

site) clearly Microsoft's stuff can be cached *already*? Or does Squid
1.1 act differently to 1.0?

Hasn't stopped anyone else causing problems - why should it stop us from
trying to fix 'em (as terrible as protocol violation is)?
