Re: Fwd: Fwd: Accessing git.kernel.org by browser results in infinite refresh loop

Em, no.  "Expires: never" is treated by Polipo as "Expires: 0", meaning
that the page is not cached.  This behaviour is actually mandated by
RFC 2616 14.21:

   HTTP/1.1 clients and caches MUST treat other invalid date formats,
   especially including the value "0", as in the past (i.e., "already
   expired").

So the headers sent by the server are correct, if somewhat confusing.
Ideally, the server should do the following:

   To mark a response as "already expired," an origin server sends an
   Expires date that is equal to the Date header value.

The issue is with something else, and it would be good to work it out.
For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce it on my side.
