Why the two Accept fields?

My first guess would be that the server in question is
Apache (is it? What's the value of the response Server
field?) and that your work request is going through a
proxy or otherwise getting a User-Agent field attached
that the server has been told can't handle "HTTP/1.1"
in the response. Such as if your office request were
going through AOL. (Due to some unpleasantness a
couple of years ago, a *lot* of Apache servers force a
1.0 response to requests coming from AOL.)
