CacheEnable and mod_proxy

[Ryan Pendergast]

I am trying to setup caching for my 2.2.2 Apache Proxy server. How do you
setup the server to cache all forward proxy requests?

By looking at the CacheEnable example in the documentation it seems as if I
would have to enable it for every protocol. Also the current documentation
is a bit misleading -
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_cache.html#cacheenable states:

# Cache proxied url's
CacheEnable disk /

This however will not cache proxied urls will it? A proxy request does not
come in the form of 'Get /' - it comes in the form of 'GET http://'
(<protocol>://). I can see the above example caching requests to / and
below that are setup via ProxyPass but not forward proxy.

Can I do something like this:

CacheEnable disk ://

Will this cover every protocol that forward proxy handles? Thanks.

Just to point out - modproxy-***@a.o is closed some time ago.

Either ***@httpd.apache.org for development discussions, or
***@httpd.apache.org for the documentation/manual author's list
or ***@httpd.apache.org for user configuration issues are more
likely to attract the right attention depending on the post.

I'm curious - we should track down any remaining pointers at the
modproxy-dev list and ensure it's completely phased out.

Based on feedback, I've already modified the website for this list
to be archive only, and put an action item in to close it. Thanks
all who've participated, see you all on ***@httpd.a.o :)
