Hmm, I forgot about the RFC and mod_cache's code (and I meant 302 above)...
Actually, mod_cache won't cache anything but 200, 203, 206, 300, 301
or 410 (as per RFC), unless otherwise specified by Cache-Control
(public, ...) or Expires (future date) headers.
So you probably have one of these in your response (mod_expires sets
Expires if you use it, but it has been fixed in 2.4.10 not to for
4xx/5xx responses precisely, and you are already in 2.4.10...).
The mod_headers rules below should not be needed then, what are the
headers associated with the 404?
