Well, you should not create a new expire header, but you should forward the
expires and etag from the original request, and try to use that etag header

It should be more effective than what you're trying to achieve. (I think.)
Yes but isn't the expiry header of osm one day in advance? Which means
the tiles have to be fetched from the server once a day
My expiry header are added successfully to the page, and its clear using
firebug but next time the page is refreshed the tiles are again fetched
from the server not from the cache, this is something I can't really
figure out why!!
