You are correct; I hadn't tested it -- I had read "Context: any" on
http://nginx.org/r/include and had incorrectly assumed.

But if I just use the "proxy_pass" directive instead of the "include",
then it seems to work for me (going to the upstream without attempting
/cache/ files first).

Query string does not take part in location matches, so this won't work.
