11299	Pluggable cache key algorithm	Ludovico Magnocavallo	nobody	"There are certain situations when you need to preserve path details in the generated cache keys, for example when using a hyerarchical cache that lets you expire whole branches of a site. The current way in which cache keys are built by Django loses all path information as keys are opaques, and furthermore it's impossible for a user to override it, short of monkeypatching utils.cache.get_cache_key() and utils.cache._generate_cache_header_key().

It might be useful to add a config setting where the user can specify a couple of generic functions to use instead of the default ones. It will take little work, and make the cache engine much more extensible for advanced uses."		closed	Core (Cache system)	1.0		fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
