I was reading the Django definitive guide and practicing on 0.96.2
*but* caching is seriously broken on that version. I mean seriously.
Almost all of my issues were gone with a simple upgrade. I switched
from the book to the docs but still have questions. I would really
appreciate any help at all here!

Q. At what point in time do the query arguments come into play for
CACHE_BACKEND? Is it only a certain combination of arguments? Does
CacheMiddleware, UpdateCacheMiddleware, FetchFromCacheMiddleware play
any part at all with these arguments? Do only certain caching
interfaces accept these arguments? Are these arguments for upstream
caches e.g., squid-cache.org, ISP?

A. Nothing I do gets these arguments working. I've bust my chops
trying and feel the documentation does it absolutely no justice at
all. Its mentioned but when I play with it, nothing I do works :(

Q. Are Cache-Control HTTP directives meant for public, browser and
upstream caches beyond my control? I have finer grain tools for some
of this stuff don't I?

A. This is a little tricky for me. I'd like to understand them a bit
better.

Q. UpdateCacheMiddleware and FetchFromCacheMiddleware are how things
should be done now *but* CacheMiddleware still works. I'll take your
word on getting rid of CacheMiddleware in favor of the former
middleware *but* does CacheMiddleware still play a role I should at
least be aware of?

A. beyond asking for too much, I simply noticed CacheMiddleware works
but the new docs for 1.0 point out using the others. I won't argue and
I'll simply trust using them but anything I should know?
