<h3>Summary</h3>
<div class="warning">This module should be used with care and
can be used to circumvent <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html#deny">Deny</a></code> directives. You
should not enable caching for any content to which you wish
to limit access by client host name, address or environment
variable.</div>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> implements an <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a> compliant HTTP
content cache that can be used to cache either local or proxied content.
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> requires the services of one or more storage
management modules. Two storage management modules are included in
the base Apache distribution:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code></dt>
<dd>implements a disk based storage manager.</dd>
<dt><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code></dt>
<dd>implements a memory based storage manager.
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code> can be configured to operate in two
modes: caching open file descriptors or caching objects in heap storage.
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code> can be used to cache locally generated content
or to cache backend server content for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> when
configured using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass">ProxyPass</a></code>
(aka <dfn>reverse proxy</dfn>)</dd>
</dl>
<p>Content is stored in and retrieved from the cache using URI based keys. Content with
access protection is not cached.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">CacheEnable</code> directive instructs
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> to cache urls at or below
<var>url-string</var>. The cache storage manager is specified with the
<var>cache_type</var> argument. <var>cache_type</var> <code> mem</code>
instructs <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> to use the memory based storage
manager implemented by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code>.
<var>cache_type</var> <code>disk</code> instructs
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> to use the disk based storage manager
implemented by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code>.
<var>cache_type</var> <code>fd</code> instructs
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> to use the file descriptor cache implemented
by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code>.</p>
<p>In the event that the URL space overlaps between different
<code class="directive">CacheEnable</code> directives (as in the example below),
each possible storage manager will be run until the first one that
actually processes the request. The order in which the storage managers are
run is determined by the order of the <code class="directive">CacheEnable</code>
directives in the configuration file.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
CacheEnable mem /manual<br />
CacheEnable fd /images<br />
CacheEnable disk /<br />
</code></p></div>
<p>When acting as a forward proxy server, <var>url-string</var> can
also be used to specify remote sites and proxy protocols which
caching should be enabled for.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
# Cache proxied url's<br />
CacheEnable disk /<br /><br />
# Cache FTP-proxied url's<br />
CacheEnable disk ftp://<br /><br />
# Cache content from www.apache.org<br />

<p>Ordinarily, requests containing a Cache-Control: no-cache or
Pragma: no-cache header value will not be served from the cache. The
<code class="directive">CacheIgnoreCacheControl</code> directive allows this
behavior to be overridden. <code class="directive">CacheIgnoreCacheControl</code>
On tells the server to attempt to serve the resource from the cache even
if the request contains no-cache header values. Resources requiring
authorization will <em>never</em> be cached.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
CacheIgnoreCacheControl On

<div class="warning"><h3>Warning:</h3>
This directive will allow serving from the cache even if the client has
requested that the document not be served from the cache. This might

<p>According to RFC 2616, hop-by-hop HTTP headers are not stored in
the cache. The following HTTP headers are hop-by-hop headers and thus
do not get stored in the cache in <em>any</em> case regardless of the
setting of <code class="directive">CacheIgnoreHeaders</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Connection</code></li>

<li><code>Proxy-Authenticate</code></li>

<p><code class="directive">CacheIgnoreHeaders</code> specifies additional HTTP
headers that should not to be stored in the cache. For example, it makes
sense in some cases to prevent cookies from being stored in the cache.</p>
<p><code class="directive">CacheIgnoreHeaders</code> takes a space separated list
of HTTP headers that should not be stored in the cache. If only hop-by-hop
headers not should be stored in the cache (the RFC 2616 compliant
behaviour), <code class="directive">CacheIgnoreHeaders</code> can be set to
<code>None</code>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example 1</h3><p><code>
CacheIgnoreHeaders Set-Cookie
</code></p></div>
<div class="example"><h3>Example 2</h3><p><code>
CacheIgnoreHeaders None
</code></p></div>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning:</h3>
If headers like <code>Expires</code> which are needed for proper cache
management are not stored due to a
<code class="directive">CacheIgnoreHeaders</code> setting, the behaviour of
mod_cache is undefined.

<p>Ordinarily, documents without a last-modified date are not cached.
Under some circumstances the last-modified date is removed (during
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> processing for example) or not provided
at all. The <code class="directive">CacheIgnoreNoLastMod</code> directive
provides a way to specify that documents without last-modified dates
should be considered for caching, even without a last-modified date.
If neither a last-modified date nor an expiry date are provided with
the document then the value specified by the
<code class="directive">CacheDefaultExpire</code> directive will be used to
generate an expiration date.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
CacheIgnoreNoLastMod On

<p>In the event that a document does not provide an expiry date but does
provide a last-modified date, an expiry date can be calculated based on
the time since the document was last modified. The
<code class="directive">CacheLastModifiedFactor</code> directive specifies a
<var>factor</var> to be used in the generation of this expiry date
according to the following formula:
<code>expiry-period = time-since-last-modified-date * <var>factor</var>
expiry-date = current-date + expiry-period</code>
For example, if the document was last modified 10 hours ago, and
<var>factor</var> is 0.1 then the expiry-period will be set to
10*0.1 = 1 hour. If the current time was 3:00pm then the computed
expiry-date would be 3:00pm + 1hour = 4:00pm.
If the expiry-period would be longer than that set by
<code class="directive">CacheMaxExpire</code>, then the latter takes
precedence.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.5
</code></p></div>

<p>The <code class="directive">CacheMaxExpire</code> directive specifies the maximum number of
seconds for which cachable HTTP documents will be retained without checking the origin
server. Thus, documents will be out of date at most this number of seconds. This maximum
value is enforced even if an expiry date was supplied with the document.</p>

<p>Ordinarily, requests or responses with Cache-Control: no-store header
values will not be stored in the cache. The
<code class="directive">CacheStoreNoCache</code> directive allows this
behavior to be overridden. <code class="directive">CacheStoreNoCache</code> On
tells the server to attempt to cache the resource even if it contains
no-store header values. Resources requiring authorization will
<em>never</em> be cached.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>

<div class="warning"><h3>Warning:</h3>
As described in RFC 2616, the no-store directive is intended to
"prevent the inadvertent release or retention of sensitive information
