Yes the Via does make a difference. I think it makes sense for the server, because
If the server think it is talking directly to the browser, let the browser to cache the personal page is fine. If there is a proxy, then it should prevent it from cache the personal page. The rfc2616 does say Via is a "MUST" for gateway as pointed out by Gabriel. Otherwise, how does a http server know there is a proxy?
