        This URL is fundamentally uncacheable as the server
        response contains none of Last-Modifed-Date,
        Expires, Cache-Controle, or Etag (not sure if
        squid can use Etag). The content provider needs
        educating, if indeed the image is the same for every
        request. (A better approach would be a redirect to
        a static image in that case.)

        There is even an incorrectly spelled Content-Length
        header!! (Result of HEAD command)

        HTTP/1.0 200 OK
        Server: Teseus Internet Server
        Content-Type: image/GIF
        Content-lenght: 1
        Via: 1.1 cache.www.uk.psi.net (NetCache 4.0R4)
