Even if they are cached I would expect him to see the 304 Not Modified

Might those pages be cached by your browser?

Is this Windows? Does Windows have TOE (TCP Offload Engine) enabled? eg
Broadcom Netxtreme drivers support TOE.

If it does have TOE, depending on how many concurrent TCP sessions are
open you may see none, some, or all of the traffic for individual sessions.

And it was alledged to me yesterday that TOE is known to lose packets.
