Cache-Control and Accept-Encoding support in Adobe AIR HTML Component

Question

I am evaluating Adobe AIR's HTML component and trying to figure out what is supported.

I built the AIR app and had it point to www.google.com

I notice that the requests to fetch JS,CSS from Adobe AIR do not include Accept-Encoding: gzip header.

Does Adobe AIR's HTML Component support Accept-Encoding : gzip header ?

I also noticed that even though the content served with far futures expiry, i.e. has Cache-Control: maxage={value} subsequent requests are being made and content is not served from the browser's cache.

I observed this accross the app restarts.

Can someone please clarify support of the two above Http headers ?

Thank you.

Here is the screenshot of Charles which captures request to the goolge's logo that is being sent again even though it had max-age of 365 days in the previous response. Observe the two requests which got a 304 respone, I expected the GET request to the logo to be not made at all and content be served from the browser' cache.
