Hi all, I apologise in advance if this is obvious or otherwise been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find any reference to it.
I am using Apache 1.3.29 with mod_perl, on Linux 2.4. I am running mod_proxy as a caching reverse proxy front end, and mod_perl on the backend. This works really well, but I have noticed that mod_proxy does not seem to be able to distinguish requests as being different if the URLs are the same, but they contain different cookies. I would like to be able to enable more personalization on my site, which would best be done using cookies. The problem is that when a page has an expiration greater than 'now', then any request to the same URL will get the cache version, even if the requests have different cookies. Currently I have to pass options around as part of the URL in order to make the requests look different to mod_proxy. Am I missing something here? Or, will this be included in either future versions of mod_proxy or the equivalent module in Apache 2.x? Any insights greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Neil Gunton
