 * We’ve been using this plugin on our site for a while. Recently, I tried to enable
   Apache’s `mod_disk_cache` module, using a default block of configuration that
   looks like this:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
          CacheEnable disk /
          CacheRoot "/var/cache/mod_proxy"
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * This seems to be working well most of the time, but occasionally while browsing
   our site, I’ll click and link and receive a different page that I’d previously
   visited. The url will change, and in the network log in the browser I’ll see 
   a request for a given HTML file, but the returned file will be different.
 * This problem seems to go away if I disable the Apache cache or this mod’s Page
   Cache, which leads me to think that there’s some incompatibility with these two
   caches. Can you think of any reason these two shouldn’t be used together, and
   any way I could fix this issue?

 * Actually, I think I found the solution here:

 * Looks like this was caused by some of the rewrite rules written into the .htaccess
   file by wordpress.
