Description
There appears to be a bug caused by WP Super Cache v1.4.9 with [Links Manager](https://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager). With caching off, I get the appropriate OPML feed typically served at example.com/wp-links-opml.php.
However, if I turn caching on, I only get the date/time stamp (presumably the one that is generated in the tag for <dateCreated>) and nothing else.
Running self-hosted 4.8. Clean install with no other plugins activated.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with WordPress 4.8, Links Manager, and WP Super Cache 1.4.9 by comparing /wp-links-opml.php with caching disabled and enabled. Start at the wp-links-opml.php feed entry point and inspect how the cached response is handled. Done means the complete OPML feed, not only its dateCreated timestamp, is served while caching is enabled.
