Yes, a copy is made. This is "traditional" in the sense that the
client code ensures that even if an original upstream server goes
away, cached files stay accessible for a while. I can also see how
this might be less valuable than just getting at the files with
minimum overhead. Does anyone think we need to have both as options?
