Unfortunately the HTTP specs does not specify a mechanism for doing
this.

But you can get reasonably close if you support the ETag header and
If-None-Match conditional header. This allows the cache to use
conditional requests to map new request headers to existing cached
objects.

But if this is an accelerator setups then other options is available.
Contact me privately to discuss the matter in such case.
