Hmm. I've setup the response with the same fields as your (very helpful) 
example, however I still only get a cached response when I omit the User-Agent 
header.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but besides the User-Agent header I also add 
a Authorization header in the request - this is basically static for every 
request.

The only other difference from your example is that in my case I'm (obviously) 
not using a shared NSURLCache within the same process, but given that it seems 
to work for me when I omit the User-Agent header, that's probably not relevant.

I'll keep playing with the headers/request and see if I can narrow down when it 
stops working, and perhaps try some of your other suggestions, on which I'll

I thought of that, but my other worry would be the case where a new version of 
the application is available - as I mentioned the header includes the version 
number, so I worry that future versions wouldn't pick up on past cached 
responses due to the differing header (if it does turn out to be relevant).
