RE: [users@httpd] Apache 2.0: mod_cache: "Cache-Control: no-cache" not preventing content from being served from cache

I would love to get some time to test Apache 2.1. Unfortunately we already have our share of problems with the stability of Apache 2.0. By stability I do not mean that the software does not work or crashes, but that there are so many changes from one Apache release to another (especially with mod_cache which is experimental) that we spend a significant amount of time testing, patching and retesting for every internal release we make. 

We are also using third-party modules that currently do not support Apache 2.1.

Do you know whether the 2.1 mod_cache is compatible with Apache 2.0 ?

Don't know about that specific issues, but you should try httpd 2.1 where mod_cache has been vastly improved.
