These mime types is almost never never seen in request entities.
I suspect you intended to use the rep_mime_type, not req_mime_type.
Aha. Thank you.
no_cache allow zip no_cache allow exe no_cache allow msexe no_cache deny all
Note: no_cache works the opposite of what the name claims.. what you deny does not get cached.
Isn't that how I have it written?
What you have written is to allow caching of zip, exe and msexe, deny caching of everything else.
and with the wrong acl type used for zip, exe and msexe the above becomes simply "deny caching of everything".
Note2: You can merge all of those mime types in a single acl.
Thanks.
After using rep_ instead of req_ it still didn't work. It wasn't until I changed:
no_cache allow zip no_cache allow exe no_cache allow msexe no_cache deny all
to:
no_cache deny !zip !exe !msexe
... that it started working as I wanted. This is semantically different but effectively the same isn't it (including the implied allow all)?
Yes.
allow a allow b allow c deny all
is semantically equivalent to
deny !a !b !c allow all
