Major reorganization of the soc svn repo, to merge into a single App Engine image (to make development easier, now that only a single app will run all Google Open Source programs).

class CacheMiddleware(object):
    """
    Cache middleware. If this is enabled, each Django-powered page will be
    cached (based on URLs).

    Only parameter-less GET or HEAD-requests with status code 200 are cached.

    The number of seconds each page is stored for is set by the
    "max-age" section of the response's "Cache-Control" header, falling back to
    the CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS setting if the section was not found.

    If CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY is set to True, only anonymous requests
    (i.e., those not made by a logged-in user) will be cached. This is a
    simple and effective way of avoiding the caching of the Django admin (and
    any other user-specific content).

    This middleware expects that a HEAD request is answered with a response
    exactly like the corresponding GET request.

    When a hit occurs, a shallow copy of the original response object is
    returned from process_request.

    Pages will be cached based on the contents of the request headers
    listed in the response's "Vary" header. This means that pages shouldn't
    change their "Vary" header.

    This middleware also sets ETag, Last-Modified, Expires and Cache-Control
    headers on the response object.
