Re: [users@httpd] CacheEnable and forward proxy

["Ryan Pendergast" <pendergast.ryan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Still struggling on this one - can anyone help?

If you don't feel like reading the entire thread: basically I want to limit caching to only forward proxy requests.  It has been suggested that I just put 'CacheEnable disk /' in a virtual host that only does proxy.  Although its a clean solution, it will not work for my situation.

In my testing I have found that if I try caching all http:// proxy requests: (CacheEnable disk http://) I get no cache entries for any http proxy request.  However if i explicitly put the protocol and the host (
CacheEnable disk http://www.apache.org/) and make the same proxy request to 
http://www.apache.org   it does make cache entries.  Shouldn't CacheEnable
 disk http:// satisfy http://www.apache.org?? I think this may be a bug.

Also, if I want to cache every possible forward proxy request do I have to specify every protocol? (CacheEnable disk http:// , ftp://, https:// etc.).  This seems like a sloppy way to do it (and at this point does not work).

Thanks
Ryan

The docs imply that the protocol allone should be enough.  I don't
know beyond that.
