After a bit of debugging, the FileCache::isFileAppropriateForFileCache returns false because the url isn't prefixed with the known protocols(ftp, http, etc).

It appears as well that even if I created and populated the cache myself externally, the case(HANDLE_NON_HTTP): in the pager still only checks the cache given the success of the isFileAppropriateForFileCache.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps it's also reasonable for this check to identify network URLs as viable candidates too?</div></div>
