Hi
I have set up Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 with mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ajp and
mod_cache as a reverse proxy in front of a Tomcat 5.5 server. The
solution works fine except that I am having trouble getting Apache to
cache content from a directory that is protected using Basic
Authentication.
Both servers are running on Windows XP.
From the Apache documentation I have read that Apache won't cache
Authenticated content:
"If the request contains an "Authorization:" header, the response will
not be cached."
Is there any way to force Apache HTTP Server to cache responses from
Tomcat protected with Basic Authentication?
I believe you'd need to change the source code, although the required
change would likely be very minor.
But my question is: exactly why do you want to do this? Do you
realize that by caching authenticated content, you essentially remove
the authentication?
