I don't know a proxy that edits HEAD responses; the problem you may get
is that, particularly in poorly connected countries, some ISPs configure
their proxies to cache more aggressively than it is safe to do, and
most content providers fail to adequately describe the cacheability 
status of their pages - e.g. web mail pages ought always to have
a "Cache-Control: private" header.
