Because the cache_in filter gets added in the quick_handler.  The 
fast_internal_redirect in mod_dir which translates / to /index.html 
(or whatever) seems to lose this filter, so it never gets cached.

Then I'd say the fix should be to teach mod_dir to not lose the cache 
filter.

As we're not using mod_dir in production, I wouldn't know how that 
would be affected by it.

+1 . i already did this patch and it work weel in production use. But we 
don't use mod_dir.
We discussed here about this many times, and nobody found a real problem 
when caching / ending url. Maybe it's time to do the patch =)

In case some people would still not cache the /, i did a patch with a 
directive CacheSlashEndingUrl On/Off.
If someone is interested by, let me say.
