Loading rewrites disables page cache

[abovedave]

Load Web with a basic configuration:

{
  "server": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3001
  },
  "cluster": false
}

npm start and visit a route a few times, observe the request headers:

Cache-Control: public, max-age=86400
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Encoding: br
Content-Length: 461
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 13:34:20 GMT
ETag: W/"1cd-16397801258"
X-Cache: HIT
X-Cache-Lookup: HIT

Then add a rewrites block to the config.json

{
  "server": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3001
  },
  "cluster": false,
  "rewrites": {
    "path": "./workspace/routes/rewrites.txt"
  }
}

Reload the app then observe page headers again:

Connection: keep-alive
Content-Encoding: br
Content-Length: 461
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 13:35:56 GMT

DADI Web 6.0.0
Node.js 8.9
NPM 6.1.0

This returns undefined when rewrites is in the config:

web/dadi/lib/cache/index.js

const endpoint = this.getEndpoint(req)

@abovedave what is the URL being used to test the above?

I'm using this, but also can recreate with a blank rewrites.txt file:

\/join$ /en/#join [R=302,NC,L]
