Hi Andy,

 thanks for the hints. My opinion is that a passthrough option would be
a very big plus for the caching proxy, and I was sincerely surprised
by this limitation.

 For some of our use cases I believe that we will start using it without
caching, as I can't imagine how to give a transparent service by having
to force clients to use different paths for reading and writing.

 What do you think ?

Thank you
Fabrizio
