[Zope] MSIE desperate Measures

[Troy Farrell]

Is using a session variable an option?   I would set a session variable 
the first time the response is given, and test for it before responding 
at all.  Logic like:

if session_var == 1: pass
else:
   do_somthing()
   session_var = 1

Given the odd behavior from MSIE, I hope that sessions are working :)
