You wrote that those homegrown proxies had trouble with websites because the websites don't follow the standard?

Are you sure you don't mean it the other way around, that the proxies have problems because they don't follow the standard?

Please elaborate!

    It's a combination of both. It is up to the proxy to determine that a page is past the Expires point, and thus when requested again, it needs to go out and retrieve it, but I could easily write a proxy that is blissfully ignorant of this aspect. On the other hand, there are web sites that use a non-standard method for attempting to expire web pages, and thus don't play well with proxies that do follow the standard.
