One thing that your redirect cache test doesn't do well is distinguish
between 301 redirects which are used in the context of an iframe load
and a direct navigation. For instance, if I go to a 301 by typing in
the address bar, Chrome and Safari will not consult the cache (but
store the result), while Firefox WILL consult it. This is slightly
harder to automate, but worth noting.
