That is because the URL being used for the stylesheet is negotiated, which results in a Vary header field being returned by Apache, which for some incredibly stupid reason MSIE refuses to cache even though its user agent is based on a non-shared cache. GET http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/Steely HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* User-Agent: GET/0.6 libwww-perl/0.50 Host: www.w3.org HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 18:47:00 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) PHP/3.0.11 Content-Location: Steely.css Vary: negotiate TCN: choice Connection: close Content-Type: text/css The workaround is just to use the filename extension on the URL ".css" and avoid the negotiation code altogether. Since the usage is unable to handle anything but CSS, not using the extension doesn't improve the longevity of this reference. ....Roy
