> Of course we all want the perfect solution in happy rainbow land, but
let's face it, allowing read-only of the cache will take about 5% of the
resources that the "proper" solution would take and make 95% of users
happy. I would consider this a good first step in the right direction. It
would also take a lot of pressure from the recaptcha issues, and might
rather increase the elasticity in your resource planning instead of
occupying more resources.
I'm not sure how you come up with the 5% number but I think you
underestimate how complicated deciding what R/O is in the web. Plenty of
attacks come through GET requests. Doing the R/O mode seems like a nasty
hack.
