Issue downstream cache purges only for GET requests. #752
Description
We should only convert GETs into PURGEs and not touch other request methods,
because it is possible to have POSTs with response content-type as text/html
and these should not be turned into PURGEs. We should also add something our
documentation indicating that requests with non-GET HTTP methods should bypass
the cache.
As of now, PURGEs for POSTs should be effectively harmless 404s (assuming that
POSTs are bypassed while caching). But, it is unnecessary work as far as the
server is concerned.
