DOCUMENT_ROOT is set in the apache config file, so once apache starts,
(i think) it should never change until apache is shutdown/restarted.
And because of the way I'm grabbing the filename from the requests,
it'll actually be using absolute paths 99% of the time.

I'm sure it's finding the correct file because its serving sort of a
"mangled" version of that file.  And, if I modify the template file,
the "mangled" version in my browser changes the next time its
requested.  For instance, I've changed the contents to:
   <html>
   <body>Testing 1 2 3...</body>
   </html>

and i'm getting back:
   <hml><bdy>Ti13</bdy></hml>

YES!  Caching is working now, thanks!
