I'm not sure.  RFC 2616 section 4.5 starts out saying "There are a few
header fields which have general applicability for both request and
response messages, but which do not apply to the entity being
transferred." and Cache-Control is one of these.  This implies that
remove_content_headers shouldn't touch it.

Does the current behaviour create a problem in your application?
