Hmmm … no … we never cache any dynamic content. Any caching we do is done in the app.

It is possible that a `vary` by `x-discourse-username` would allow us to cache for anon via headers. I never experimented with that implementation.

As it stands all dynamic requests like looking at this page hit the app.
