Hi,
I would like to make disable and enable work with regular expression.
Something like CacheDisableMatch and CacheEnableMatch or working with
location tags.
Does somebody have more preferences to one method ?
I'd be -1 to anything that needed to perform a regular expression test
to check the cache, it'd be a huge CPU hit on something that we're
supposed to be doing as quickly as possible.
I agree on this point, but people using this directive choose to loose
time on this regexp check.
The problem i have is many people wants to enable cache on .gif and
.jpeg and .pdf, but they don't know the exact path.
Actually, they have to maintain a list of url to be cached or not cached.
With these two directives, or a LocationMatch tag (which is also some
regexp check) they can do this.
If the regex can be applied only at cache time, then sure, but that's
pretty hard to achieve! I think it would end up with the cache being
checked for every URI served.
As for implementation, I had a patch about a year ago to make
CacheEnable work within regular <Location> and <LocationMatch> tags,
can't find it right now though, and it'd be widly out of date, but iirc
they can be made work together.
