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?
