+<a name="gif89-expires"><h3><code>Expires</code> headers and GIF89A animations</h3></a>
+
+<p>Navigator versions 2 through 4 will erroneously re-request
+GIF89A animations on each loop of the animation if the first
+response included an <code>Expires</code> header. This happens
+regardless of how far in the future the expiry time is set. There
+is no workaround supplied with Apache, however there are hacks for <a

+and for <a

+<a name="no-content-length"><h3><code>POST</code> without <code>Content-Length</code></h3></a>
+
+<p>In certain situations Navigator 3 appears to incorrectly
+issue a POST without the request body. There is no
+known workaround. There's a little more information <a
