I believe Microsoft sends an 'Expires' header with a value of the
current time less a couple of seconds with every page it returns.
Why they do this is beyond comprehension, but I think their pretext
is to keep an accurate count of visitors (which they can't do if the
page is cached). I don't object, but I'm expecting a cheque from
Uncle Bill to pay for all the extra traffic ... :-)

As for the general TCP_CLIENT_REFRESH problem, I hadn't noticed it
because most of my hits are CGI scripts anyway, but I went back
through the logs, and sure enough, graphics and other objects that
should be cached are being refreshed all the time.

We cannot choose what we are.
Yet what are we but the sum of our choices?
