It seems CyberBob is right on this one.

I don't know why, but it sneaked into our download code:

src/phex/download/DownloadEngine.java:
But I have a clue, why it is in there: Shareaza did simply use the Gnutella download mechanism in the beginning and just added a header: "Are you a shareaza with G2? If not, then to hell with you! If yes, then please go on downloading. I'll be downloading from you in any case."

I don't know, if they still act that way.

Everything that is to be said about this header was already written long time ago in this thread.

Since Shareaza always rejected that there are nodes in Gnutella search results, download mash or downloading files, without having the Gnutella network enabled, this header should never be send and should not cause any problems.
And AFAIK Shareaza, while still polluting, ignores this header already anyway...

This has nothing to do with GWebCache though...
