No, I'm using Netscape. I just got this from one of our users, as
he tried to load the aforementioned "Dilbert" through our cache:
(No, Dilbert-reading is not the _only_ thing we do at our
workplace... ;-)

Using direct connection:

  % HEAD http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/
  200 OK
  Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:13:38 GMT
  Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.0F
  Content-Type: text/html
  Client-Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:10:51 GMT

Through the cache:

  % http_proxy=http://proxy2.link.no:8080/ HEAD http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/
  200 OK
  Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 18:42:34 GMT
  Accept-Ranges: bytes
  Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.0F

  Last-Modified: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 07:38:19 GMT
  Client-Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:11:38 GMT

After pressing Shift-Reload in netscape:

  % http_proxy=http://proxy2.link.no:8080/ HEAD http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/
  200 OK
  Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 21:15:04 GMT
