Hi, I submitted a simple patch that fixes the above mentioned PR, and then some.
1. All of the Cache-Control request directives are ignored. As a consequence, end-to-end reload is for example not possible. Originally ap_cache_check_freshness() read the Cache-Control header from ((cache_handle_t) h)->req_hdrs. Turns out this never contains the Cache-Control header. The patch changes this so it is read from the request record instead ((request_rec)r->headers_in. This is also what is done in Apache 2.2.4 which does not exhibit this problem. 2. Responses to requests containing Cache-Control: no-cache are not cached. The way I understand RFC2616, the no-cache request directive should prevent a cache from serving a cached response to such a request, but not from saving it in cache. Apache 2.2.4 behaves as I would expect it to, i.e. saves the response (provided it is cacheable). I would love to move to 2.2.4, but I am prevented to do so for the next 12 months by dependencies to third-party modules. rgds -ascs
