Opera 3.6 is broken when giving a statuscode like 299, I tested and an error
message box popped up and no page was displayed. I didn't get it to work
with NS 4.7 (or was it 4.51) either. After re-reading this thread again I
realised why the Cache-Control, Expires headers didn't work. I was issuing a
HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1. Switching to HTTP/1.1 it worked fine with both
NS and IE, but not Opera.
