Hi, I have some problems with the behavior of mod_cache.
I'm running httpd-2.2.4 under FreeBSD 6.2, and I'm trying to get mod_cache (both mem_cache, and disk_cache) to work to optimize performance. Unfortunately our users often requests static files with query strings, there are explanations for this but this is outside the scope of the problem, we are not able to control this behavior. I.e. requests look like this: http://host/file.html?ref=0 Ideally we would like to be able to tell mod_cache to cache this as being static even though there is a query string. I would be very happy to see this feature in the next version. We can tell mod_cache to cache it anyway, and we do, by using mod_expire and adding an expire header. Now the problem is that since each query string is unique (ref=0,1,2... for example), they get cached as different requests... Ok, so lets rewrite the url. I use "RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$" and "RewriteRule .* %{REQUEST_URI}?" which seems to do the trick. Relevant parts of httpd.conf below. Now the incorrect behavior seems to start. First request: (http://host/file.html?ref=1) [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(129): Adding CACHE_SAVE filter for /file.html [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(136): Adding CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter for /file.html [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(609): cache: Caching url: /file.html?ref=1 [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(615): cache: Removing CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter. [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(658): cache: Added date header [Wed Jan 17 16:36:00 2007] [info] mem_cache: Cached url: http://localhost:80/file.html? 1. line 3 mod_cache.c(609) doesn't use the rewritten request. 2. line 6 mod_cache use a rewritten request, though without '?' would be preferable. Second similar request is exactly the same. For some reason I always have to request something 2 times before the cache functionality sets in. This seems to be a bug as well. Third similar request: (http://host/file.html?ref=1) [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(129): Adding CACHE_SAVE filter for /file.html.swf [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(136): Adding CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter for /file.html.swf [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(609): cache: Caching url: /file.html?ref=1 [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(615): cache: Removing CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter. [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(658): cache: Added date header [Wed Jan 17 16:51:24 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(803): (13)Permission denied: cache: store_headers failed 1. I believe this request doesn't match "file.html?" against "file.html?ref=1" and therefore doesn't find the content in the cache, and tries to recache the same url, and fails. Fourth request with unique query string" (http://host/file.html?ref=2) [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(129): Adding CACHE_SAVE filter for /file.html.swf [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(136): Adding CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter for /file.html.swf [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(609): cache: Caching url: /file.html?ref=2 [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(615): cache: Removing CACHE_REMOVE_URL filter. [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(658): cache: Added date header [Wed Jan 17 16:53:53 2007] [debug] mod_cache.c(803): (13)Permission denied: cache: store_headers failed 1. Again match against the unrewritten request, tries to cache it as the rewritten request. I.e. the problems are, or seems to be: - The cache delivery doesn't kick in until 2 valid requests have been made. - When removing the query string, mod_cache still caches "file.html?" which differs from "file.html". - mod_cache seems to match a request with cached entries using the unrewritten request, but stores the entry with the rewritten request.
