I made a mistake.
The following: Now if I sent the following URL requests then items 3 and 4 would be removed from the cache: http://acme.com/ghi/asasd/dd/ Should have been: Now if I sent the following URL requests then items 3 and 4 would be removed from the cache: http://acme.com/cleanCache/ghi/asasd/dd/ Sorry, Lance Campbell Project Manager/Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs University of Illinois 217.333.0382 http://webservices.uiuc.edu ________________________________ From: Campbell, Lance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:51 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mod_cache Apache 2.2.x I would like to request that mod_cache have an additional parameter added to it. Example: CacheCleanRequest /cleanCache/ If you want to remove items from the cache so that they can be refreshed by a later request you simply pre append the URL that was provided to the parameter CacheCleanRequest. Example: CacheCleanRequest /cleanCache/ CacheEnable disk /abc/ CacheEnable disk /def/ CacheEnable mem /ghi/ If I were to request the following URLs they would be cached by mod_cache: 1) http://acme.com/abc/123.html 2) http://acme.com/def/454/3443/aaa.html 3) http://acme.com/ghi/asasd/dd/bbb.html 4) http://acme.com/ghi/asasd/dd/ccc.html Now if I sent the following URL request then item 2 above would be removed from the cache: http://acme.com/cleanCache/def/454/3443/aaahtml Now if I sent the following URL requests then items 3 and 4 would be removed from the cache: http://acme.com/ghi/asasd/dd/ I know you have a mechanism in place to clear a cache entry based on adding attributes to a headers requests. This just seems to be a much simpler approach to clearing cached content.
