* If the mod_proxy backend connection broke in the middle of the response,

then
  - Do not cache it.
  - Signal the client that something went wrong by closing the connection
    and not sending the last-chunk marker if the response was T-E chunked.

server/core_filters.c         : Close the connection to the client by setting
                                c->keepalive to AP_CONN_CLOSE.
modules/http/chunk_filter.c   : Do not send last-chunk marker in the case
                                the backend broke.
modules/proxy/mod_proxy_http.c: Signal that the backend connection broke.
modules/cache/mod_disk_cache.c: Respect r->no_cache for discarding the response
