Hi,
Currently CacheIgnoreCacheControl On only ignores Cache-Control: no-cache and Pragma: no-cache. I'd like to add ignoring Cache-Control: max-age=... and Cache-Control: min-fresh=... as well.
This would give the admin more control, and would also make the directive slightly more intuitive IMO. This because different browsers do different things. One will send a Cache-Control: no-cache on a refresh, and one will send a Cache-Control: max-age=... It would be nice if the effect would be the same for both.
Thoughts?
While I think this is a good idea, I'd like to consider renaming this particular directive as I think the name is really confusing.
Does that mean you want me to hold off on committing this patch pending a directive rename? Isn't that a seperate issue?
My concern is that CacheIgnoreCacheControl only refers to the request's Cache-Control not the origin response's Cache-Control header. But, I like that separation because having it refer to both is too coarse-grained, I think.
Definately agreed. Ignoring response Cache-Control is in another league than ignoring the request Cache-Control.
But, I don't have any real ideas for what an alternative name is. -- justin
CacheIgnoreServerCacheControl?
