Cache Framework: wrong per-site cache behavior documentation

Reported by: Vanni Owned by: poirier
Component: Documentation Version: 1.3
Severity: Normal Keywords:

Description

From ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/cache/#the-per-site-cache documentation page: "The cache middleware caches every page that doesn't have GET or POST parameters".
AFAIK it is not true. URLs with GET parameters (like ​http://www.example.com/?this_is_a_get_param=value) get (IMHO correctly) cached and POST parameters are simply ignored.

Fix #17119: Update cache doc to match current implementation, which does (since r15705) cache pages with GET parameters. Thanks Vanni, poirier, and calvinspealman.
