Wi,
Apache mod_cache hooks itself before mod_rewrite (APR_HOOK_FIRST vs.
APR_HOOK_MIDDLE), so the cache will get called first, if content doesn't
exist, request will be passed to next handler which is mod_rewrite,
which will handle getting the page, then Apache will CACHE_SAVE the
response so that next time the same page is requested mod_cache will
serve the content from the cache without passing it to mod_rewrite (of
course with respect to cache control directives).
Thanks,
Tamer

Subject: Combining caching and rewrites
Hi All
I have a response from an expensive backend service that I would like
to cache. We already do some caching of static content, and that works
fine. However, the response that I want to cache is normally generated
by a rewrite (the last three lines below). So, if I add some caching
directives, I get the following. Is this likely to work? How does the
result of the rewrite wind up in the cache?
(What I'm probably asking is how the response is handled after generation...)
<IfModule mod_disk_cache.c>
CacheIgnoreCacheControl On
CacheDefaultExpire 300
CacheIgnoreNoLastMod On
CacheStoreNoStore On
CacheStorePrivate On
CacheRoot /caches/tmp/dbgen
CacheEnable disk /expstuff
</IfModule>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/expstuff
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://xx.xx.xx.xx:7777/$1 [P,NE,L]
