HTML HTTP-EQUIV headers is only useful if the server in question support
HTTP-EQUIV. If it doesn't then adding the HTTP headers as HTML
HTTP-EQUIV headers will not make any difference for proxies/caches as
these does not (and should not) read the HTML code.

Addressing cacheability is best done at the server if possible.

Hmm.. stm files is usually plain "server side include" files. How to
make these cacheable depends on the kind of server you have, but it is
defenitely somewhere in the server settings, not in the pages.
