ARRGHHH!!!! This is not documented in the changelog and I was going
crazy on why my apps which had been working perfectly fine suddenly
stopped working on upgrading to 0.7.67.

A far more rational approach ... hope to see this in the 0.7 branch

essentially made 0.7.67 unusable. 
I need to roll back and give up the proxy no cache use I upgraded for.
