Is there a better list to use for questions about core modules?
I'm using mod_cache on Apache 2.0.55 (Debian Sid) with the following
config:
ProxyVia On
CacheRoot /var/cache/apache2/proxy
CacheSize 1000
CacheMaxExpire 300
CacheIgnoreHeaders Set-Cookie
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 16384
CacheEnable disk /
<proxy *>
allow from all
</proxy>
And I'm using a reverse proxy to connect to the back end machine.
The back end machine provides Last-Modified, Expires, and
Cache-Control headers.
When I first start up Apache files are cached. But, once they expire
then they are no longer cached and *always* fetch from the back end
server. It's as if the front end mod_cache server is not updating
it's Expires date.
Maybe I don't understand CacheMaxExpire setting??
For example here's two requests that were handled by the cache (note
the "Age:" header. The back end server was not accessed for these
requests.

Now, once it got to 300 seconds the front-end server (running
mod_cache) *always* fetches the document from the back-end server:

Note that the back-end server returns both Cache-Control and Expires
headers without regard to http/1.0 vs http/1.1. Not sure if that
might be a problem or not.
