Thanks for all replies. I thought then the primary problem is IE6 with http/1.0 can't accept the Vary: header. I don't know why, but this really happened on all our ie6 browsers. Our users have also reported this case. Maybe it's an IE's bug? ie7/firefox don't have this problem. Thanks. //joy On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 8:37 PM, Eric Covener <covener@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 4:24 AM, J.
