Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0
Apache Module mod_cache
Summary
|
This module is experimental. Documentation is still under development...
|
mod_cache implements an RFC 2616 compliant HTTP content
cache that can be used to cache either local or proxied content.
mod_cache requires the services of one or more storage
management modules. Two storage management modules are included in
the base Apache distribution:
- mod_disk_cache
- implements a disk based storage manager for use with mod_proxy
- mod_mem_cache
- implements an in-memory based storage manager. mod_mem_cache
can be configured to operate in two modes: caching open file
descriptors or caching objects in heap storage. mod_mem_cache
is most useful when used to cache locally generated content or to cache
backend server content for mod_proxy configured for ProxyPass (aka reverse proxy)
Content stored and retrived keyed to the URL. Content with
access protections is not cached.
