ok.. so I've started playing with mod-cache again, and I noticed the following:
- there is no way to cache something with query-args which doesn't return a expires tag.
proposal: add a CacheIgnoreNoExpires directive so that we can cache them
- Even if we add a optional function to ignore the query-args, we still check the args to see if the thing is cacheable. I'm not sure what to do about this.. maybe move some more functionality into the key-gen code... I don't know.
any objections to adding yet another config option to mod-cache?
Not really, but I'd like to see a patch posted to this list first before committing it. There's a couple ways I could see implementing this, but not sure which way you are intending to do this. -- justin
Just a thought... why does this restriction exist in the first place? If it is to cover an uncommon occurance, perhaps we relax the restriction by default and enable the restriction with a CacheNoExpiresStrict (or similar) config option? Another alternative might be to apply a default expires policy and add an Expires header to the reply and then run the reply through mod_cache. Just thinking out loud...
