hi all...

I was wondering if anyone has some experience with expire headers for
dynamic documents - kinda like mod_expires but for dynamic stuff.

why?  well, say I have a handler that creates, say, a css document on the
fly based upon fields in a database.  the css contents won't change
regularly (if ever) but every request results in dynamic processing.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to cache dynamic results if I say it's ok?  

(yes, one could just spit out a static document weekly or whatever, but
that's not the point of this discussion, ok :)

anyone else see an interest in an Apache::Expires (or whatever)?  Is there
something out there already?  I was thinking of working on it if there is
nothing out there, but it would require lots of RFC reading and wrestling
with stuff like entity tags...

comments/experiences welcome...
