Which doesn't work with all browsers.  I know it works with v3.0 of MSIE
and NSNAV, which does count for a large percentage of our hits, but still 
misses a large percentage.  What other browsers does it work with?  I'd
almost bet money that since this is an HTTP 1.1 feature, even the latest
AOL browser doesn't work with it.
