But it does get the whole object at least once. Look:

206.169.18.74 - - [16/Jul/1999:13:19:28 -0700] "GET
http://hudsucker.gamespot.com/shared/poll_yesbar.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 409
TCP_MISS:DIRECT
206.169.18.74 - - [16/Jul/1999:13:19:33 -0700] "GET
http://hudsucker.gamespot.com/shared/poll_yesbar.gif HTTP/1.0" 304 259
TCP_MISS:DIRECT
206.169.18.74 - - [16/Jul/1999:13:19:34 -0700] "GET
http://hudsucker.gamespot.com/shared/poll_yesbar.gif HTTP/1.0" 304 259
TCP_MISS:DIRECT
206.169.18.74 - - [16/Jul/1999:13:19:35 -0700] "GET
http://hudsucker.gamespot.com/shared/poll_yesbar.gif HTTP/1.0" 304 259
TCP_MISS:DIRECT

the first line shows a 200 status code. why does it keep checking in the
subsequent requests instead of serving the cached version?
