According to RFC 2616, the Cache-control directive above is invalid and
should be ignored by a recipient. IIRC, Squid will not honor that directive
even if it receives it. The correct syntax would be:
        Cache-control: max-age=86400

After double checking, you probably should complain to Netscape about the
bug.
