Why do you think using request headers would not work?

Karim,
I'm afraid you have to do that programmatically. We've done that in a
project before with Apache 2.0 by knowing how Apache encodes
URL for storing in internal cache directories, read it from:
modules/cache_util.c:
cache_hash(...)
Which is controlled using:
CacheDirLevels XX
CacheDirLength YY
Apache directives.
I believe you will write your own code that hashes the target URL like
Apache does, and delete that file from the cache, call that code
whenever you need to content is updated.
And I don't think that would change for 2.2.X Apache, the addition of
"htcacheclean" doesn't help in your case either.
P.S. Look for Hossam Karim if you need the Java code, he is the one
who did that.
Regards,
Tamer

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Clearing cache selectively on Apache + mod_cache
Greetings all,
I'm running Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) mod_jk/1.2.27 + mod_cache. I'm looking for a
way to clear the cache from Apache for specific URLs. I'm using Apache to cache
dynamic content that is served by Tomcat, and I would like to keep the content
(age) high (e.g. 24 hours) but still to be able to clear the cache for specific
pages when the content is updated. Is there a way to tell Apache to clear the
cache for a specific list of URLs?
Thanks,
Karim
