I think I'd like a comment here.  The form of the comment depends on whether we
think we want to long-term support POST in the non-cache case; if we do it
should be a TODO/bug reference, if not just an explanation as to why
conditionalizing ONLY_FROM_CACHE on get_upload().

I cover this with a comment in BeginDownload in download_manager_impl.cc. Do you
also want it here?

[Randy Smith (Not in Mondays), 2012/02/03 19:43:06]

I'm afraid so.  Code's better when it can be understood with minimal saved state
from other places, so I think we should have something (either independent
comment or pointer is ok).
