My Server gives the Response-Header (LiveHTTPHeader)

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 12:44:01 GMT
P3P: policyref="http://10.1.5.215/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="CURa,COM,ADM,BUS,DEV"
Connection: close
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Cache-Control: max-age=3600, s-maxage=3600, public

and Firefox caches the Page correctly for an hour (as long as my page does not
contain <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" content="no"> in <head></head>-Part). So
each request during the next hour is served by the cache and the outdate-time is
shown all the time correctly on the page infos.


But if I add the line
<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" content="no"> (for IE)
firefox only sets the outdate-time correctly with the response from the server.
After the page is requested again (this time result from cache) the outdate-time
is set to time of last access. So when page is requested another time the cache
is not valid any more and the page is requested from the server again. So the
cache only works for every other request and outdates itself with this request.

Livehttpheader shows the serverresponse for this case like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 12:59:37 GMT
P3P: policyref="http://10.1.5.215/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="CURa,COM,ADM,BUS,DEV"
Connection: close
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Cache-Control: max-age=3600, s-maxage=3600, public
imagetoolbar: no


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
cache invalidated itself by every second request

Expected Results:  
correct caching for an hour
