Does the http packets need to have some explicit cache header to make
it be cached?

I'm using a very simple python http server
(http://fragments.turtlemeat.com/pythonwebserver.php), and Wireshark
showed that the captured http packets it sent out do not have well
organized http header. Is this the problem?

Thanks,
Henry
