If I recall correctly, there were MANY conditions in mod_cache that prevented caching (like checking for a POST method, no-store, no-cache, auth, GET args, private, public, must-revalidate, maxage, etc.).
My idea was to have one directive, with an option for each of them, including the conditions that are already supported, plus two special options - one that represents the empty set of options, and one that turns on all of the options.
Hmm. That's an interesting approach. How about an ITERATE directive with a bit-wise field that represent their value in the config structure? I sort of like that... =)
To be clear, something like:
CacheOptions +StorePrivate +IgnoreClientControl +IgnoreServerControl +CachePOST +CacheAuth
CacheOptions +all
CacheOptions -all
Feel like writing a patch? =) -- justin
