sorry if this is a double post - I was not subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I sent this the 1st time...

I am doing some work with Apache 2.2.2 (currently testing win32) and am running into some problems with CacheEnable and proxy requests. My ultimate goal is to cache only proxy requests (with mod_disk_cache), but right now I am running into problems with the basic scenario of just http proxied url's. 

The 2.2 CacheEnable documentation lists the following example:
# Cache content from www.apache.org
CacheEnable disk http://www.apache.org/

This works as expected (caches proxy requests to apache.org).  If I then change it to:
CacheEnable disk http://

My same proxy request to http://www.apache.org does not get cached on my server.  The debug level error log does not list the cache save filter as ever being added (while it does when I use CacheEnable disk http://www.apache.org/ ), so I never am able to see why the request to the url was not cached.  Should this not be cached? I see the same example in the CacheEnable 2.2 doc for proxied ftp requests (CacheEnable disk ftp://).

I know an easy solution to caching only proxy requests would be to put the catch all 'CacheEnable disk  /' in a virtual host - but I need to be able to cover the scenario of when a customer wants to only cache proxy requests, and specifies it in the server context.

Should 'cacheenable disk http://' be caching all forward http proxy requests? Before filing a bug I wanted to make sure it wasn't working as designed for 2.2.

thanks,
Ryan
