xmldoc.load Not Caching

[Leonid]

we are using :
var xmlfileLoaded = xmlDoc.load(xmlFileName);

and we noticed that this files are not cached in numbers of clients Internet
Exporer v6.

We see in httprequest log this request.

We also tried to gzip the request but probably xmlDoc not allowed it.

I refer you to

It's either "timed download" fight (useless anyway) or some internal
flow of XMLHttpRequest.

is totally other story).

If I read it right, you can override *from the server-side* any
meta-like crap from the client, if you set your response headers
properly. Do you want to try it?
