Anyone using mod_cache in Apache 2?
I'd like give it a whirl, but I can't seem to get it to cache.
I'm wondering what config I have wrong.
The mod_perl applicaiton generates some cache-able content.
I'm using Debian's apache2 setup, mostly, which looks like:
LoadModule cache_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cache.so
LoadModule disk_cache_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_disk_cache.so
LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_proxy_http.so
ProxyVia On
CacheRoot /var/cache/apache2/proxy
# what if want to always us Expires?
CacheMaxExpire 300
<VirtualHost *:3003>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
CacheEnable disk /
CacheIgnoreHeaders Set-Cookie
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 16384
<proxy *>
allow from all
</proxy>
<Location />
Allow from all
</Location>
# back to the app server
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3333/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3333/
</VirtualHost>
So if I do a request:
$ lwp-request -ed http://bumby:3003/css/style.css
Cache-Control: max-age=300
Connection: close
Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 23:00:35 GMT
Via: 1.1 bumby:3003
Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8
Content-Length: 2264
Content-Type: text/css
Expires: Thu, 18 May 2006 23:05:35 GMT
Last-Modified: Sun, 29 Jan 2006 14:59:44 GMT
Client-Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 23:00:35 GMT
Client-Peer: 192.168.1.2:3003
Client-Response-Num: 1
And making that same request again hits the back-end server again.
And nothing is stored in /var/cache/apache2/proxy
Also, I know about mod_deflate, but I'm wondering how mod_cache deals
with deflated content. The mod_perl server can deflate/gzip the
content, so would mod_cache store include compressed and non
compressed versions?
