Hi Tim,
If you are after caching the responses, maybe an easier solution would
be to use a reverse proxy - like Varnish?
You would be then in complete control over the incoming and outgoing
headers and could cache responses based on the url / inject Expires
headers so browsers could cache them too etc.
Cheers,

Hi Alex,
I was initially also thinking Squid - but it's rather heavy.
I have not come across Varnish but having a quick look (and noting it is
available on Debian - good) it looks like a damn good option.
I think you are right - apache is great, but the order of execution of
modules is not well documented and prone to changing (hence my original
question here) and trying to splice effectively 3 filters together
(proxy, header-fiddling and cache) is probably doomed to grief.
Thanks for the tip - I'm off to try that today!
All the best,
Tim
