Whoops, typo. Using "Vary: Accept-Encoding", however, doesn't change the
outcome of those tests. As far as I can tell, Vary isn't even parsed by IE.
Just the presence of it causes the browser not to cache the page unless
there's also a "Content-Encoding: gzip" header, in which case Vary is just
ignored(?).
