<h3>Summary</h3>
<div class="warning">This module should be used with care, as when the
<code class="directive"><a href="#cachequickhandler">CacheQuickHandler</a></code> directive is
in its default value of <strong>on</strong>, the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_access_compat.html#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_access_compat.html#deny">Deny</a></code> directives will be circumvented.
You should not enable quick handler 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
<strong>HTTP content caching filter</strong>, with support for the caching
of content negotiated responses containing the Vary header.</p>
<p>RFC 2616 compliant caching provides a mechanism to verify whether
stale or expired content is still fresh, and can represent a significant
performance boost when the origin server supports <strong>conditional
requests</strong> by honouring the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.26">If-None-Match</a>
HTTP request header. Content is only regenerated from scratch when the content
has changed, and not when the cached entry expires.</p>
<p>As a filter, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> can be placed in front of
content originating from any handler, including <strong>flat
files</strong> (served from a slow disk cached on a fast disk), the output
of a <strong>CGI script</strong> or <strong>dynamic content
generator</strong>, or content <strong>proxied from another
server</strong>.</p>
<p>In the default configuration, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> inserts the
caching filter as far forward as possible within the filter stack,
utilising the <strong>quick handler</strong> to bypass all per request
processing when returning content to the client. In this mode of
operation, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> may be thought of as a caching
proxy server bolted to the front of the webserver, while running within
the webserver itself.</p>
<p>When the quick handler is switched off using the
<code class="directive"><a href="#cachequickhandler">CacheQuickHandler</a></code> directive,
it becomes possible to insert the <strong>CACHE</strong> filter at a
point in the filter stack chosen by the administrator. This provides the
opportunity to cache content before that content is personalised by the
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> filter, or optionally compressed by the
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> filter.</p>
<p>Under normal operation, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> will respond to
and can be controlled by the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9">Cache-Control</a>
and
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.32">Pragma</a>
headers sent from a client in a request, or from a
server within a response. Under exceptional circumstances,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> can be configured to override these headers
and force site specific behaviour, however such behaviour will be limited
to this cache only, and will not affect the operation of other caches
that may exist between the client and server, and as a result is not
recommended unless strictly necessary.</p>
<p>RFC 2616 allows for the cache to return stale data while the existing
stale entry is refreshed from the origin server, and this is supported
by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> when the
<code class="directive"><a href="#cachelock">CacheLock</a></code> directive is suitably
configured. Such responses will contain a
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.46">Warning</a>
HTTP header with a 110 response code. RFC 2616 also allows a cache to return
stale data when the attempt made to refresh the stale data returns an
error 500 or above, and this behaviour is supported by default by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code>. Such responses will contain a
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.46">Warning</a>
HTTP header with a 111 response code.</p>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> requires the services of one or more
storage management modules. The following storage management modules are included in
the base Apache distribution:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code></dt>
<dd>Implements a disk based storage manager. Headers and bodies are
stored separately on disk, in a directory structure derived from the
md5 hash of the cached URL. Multiple content negotiated responses can
be stored concurrently, however the caching of partial content is not
supported by this module. The <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htcacheclean.html">htcacheclean</a></code> tool is
provided to list cached URLs, remove cached URLs, or to maintain the size
of the disk cache within size and inode limits.</dd>
<dt><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_socache.html">mod_cache_socache</a></code></dt>
<dd>Implements a shared object cache based storage manager. Headers and
bodies are stored together beneath a single key based on the URL of the
response being cached. Multiple content negotiated responses can
be stored concurrently, however the caching of partial content is not
supported by this module.</dd>

<h2><a name="thunderingherd" id="thunderingherd">Avoiding the Thundering Herd</a> <a title="Permanent link" href="#thunderingherd" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
<p>When a cached entry becomes stale, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> will submit
a conditional request to the backend, which is expected to confirm whether the
cached entry is still fresh, and send an updated entity if not.</p>
<p>A small but finite amount of time exists between the time the cached entity
becomes stale, and the time the stale entity is fully refreshed. On a busy
server, a significant number of requests might arrive during this time, and
cause a <strong>thundering herd</strong> of requests to strike the backend
suddenly and unpredictably.</p>
<p>To keep the thundering herd at bay, the <code class="directive"><a href="#cachelock">CacheLock</a></code>
directive can be used to define a directory in which locks are created for
URLs <strong>in flight</strong>. The lock is used as a <strong>hint</strong>
by other requests to either suppress an attempt to cache (someone else has
gone to fetch the entity), or to indicate that a stale entry is being refreshed
(stale content will be returned in the mean time).
</p>
<h3>Initial caching of an entry</h3>
<p>When an entity is cached for the first time, a lock will be created for the
entity until the response has been fully cached. During the lifetime of the
lock, the cache will suppress the second and subsequent attempt to cache the
same entity. While this doesn't hold back the thundering herd, it does stop
the cache attempting to cache the same entity multiple times simultaneously.
</p>
<h3>Refreshment of a stale entry</h3>
<p>When an entity reaches its freshness lifetime and becomes stale, a lock
will be created for the entity until the response has either been confirmed as
still fresh, or replaced by the backend. During the lifetime of the lock, the
second and subsequent incoming request will cause stale data to be returned,
and the thundering herd is kept at bay.</p>
<h3>Locks and Cache-Control: no-cache</h3>
<p>Locks are used as a <strong>hint only</strong> to enable the cache to be
more gentle on backend servers, however the lock can be overridden if necessary.
If the client sends a request with a Cache-Control header forcing a reload, any
lock that may be present will be ignored, and the client's request will be
honored immediately and the cached entry refreshed.</p>
<p>As a further safety mechanism, locks have a configurable maximum age.
Once this age has been reached, the lock is removed, and a new request is
given the opportunity to create a new lock. This maximum age can be set using
the <code class="directive"><a href="#cachelockmaxage">CacheLockMaxAge</a></code> directive, and defaults
to 5 seconds.
</p>
<h3>Example configuration</h3>
<div class="example"><h3>Enabling the cache lock</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">#

<h2><a name="finecontrol" id="finecontrol">Fine Control with the CACHE Filter</a> <a title="Permanent link" href="#finecontrol" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
<p>Under the default mode of cache operation, the cache runs as a quick handler,
short circuiting the majority of server processing and offering the highest
cache performance available.</p>
<p>In this mode, the cache <strong>bolts onto</strong> the front of the server,
acting as if a free standing RFC 2616 caching proxy had been placed in front of
the server.</p>
<p>While this mode offers the best performance, the administrator may find that
under certain circumstances they may want to perform further processing on the
request after the request is cached, such as to inject personalisation into the
cached page, or to apply authorization restrictions to the content. Under these
circumstances, an administrator is often forced to place independent reverse
proxy servers either behind or in front of the caching server to achieve this.</p>
<p>To solve this problem the <code class="directive"><a href="#cachequickhandler">CacheQuickHandler</a></code>
directive can be set to <strong>off</strong>, and the server will
process all phases normally handled by a non-cached request, including the
<strong>authentication and authorization</strong> phases.</p>
<p>In addition, the administrator may optionally specify the <strong>precise point
within the filter chain</strong> where caching is to take place by adding the
<strong>CACHE</strong> filter to the output filter chain.</p>
<p>For example, to cache content before applying compression to the response,
place the <strong>CACHE</strong> filter before the <strong>DEFLATE</strong>
filter as in the example below:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Cache content before optional compression
CacheQuickHandler off
AddOutputFilterByType CACHE;DEFLATE text/plain</pre>
<p>Another option is to have content cached before personalisation is applied
by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> (or another content processing filter). In this
example templates containing tags understood by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code> are cached before being parsed:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Cache content before mod_include and mod_deflate
CacheQuickHandler off
AddOutputFilterByType CACHE;INCLUDES;DEFLATE text/html</pre>
<p>You may place the <strong>CACHE</strong> filter anywhere you wish within the
filter chain. In this example, content is cached after being parsed by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>, but before being processed by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Cache content between mod_include and mod_deflate
CacheQuickHandler off
AddOutputFilterByType INCLUDES;CACHE;DEFLATE text/html</pre>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning:</h3>If the location of the
<strong>CACHE</strong> filter in the filter chain is changed for any reason,
you may need to <strong>flush your cache</strong> to ensure that your data
served remains consistent. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> is not in a position
to enforce this for you.</div>

<h2><a name="status" id="status">Cache Status and Logging</a> <a title="Permanent link" href="#status" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
<p>Once <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> has made a decision as to whether or not
an entity is to be served from cache, the detailed reason for the decision
is written to the subprocess environment within the request under the
<strong>cache-status</strong> key. This reason can be logged by the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code> directive as
follows:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">LogFormat "%{cache-status}e ..."</pre>
<p>Based on the caching decision made, the reason is also written to the
subprocess environment under one the following four keys, as appropriate:</p>
<dl>
<dt>cache-hit</dt><dd>The response was served from cache.</dd>
<dt>cache-revalidate</dt><dd>The response was stale and was successfully
revalidated, then served from cache.</dd>
<dt>cache-miss</dt><dd>The response was served from the upstream server.</dd>
<dt>cache-invalidate</dt><dd>The cached entity was invalidated by a request
method other than GET or HEAD.</dd>
</dl>
<p>This makes it possible to support conditional logging of cached requests
as per the following example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">CustomLog "cached-requests.log" common env=cache-hit
CustomLog "uncached-requests.log" common env=cache-miss
CustomLog "revalidated-requests.log" common env=cache-revalidate
CustomLog "invalidated-requests.log" common env=cache-invalidate</pre>

allowing modules to respond to the caching outcomes above in customised
ways.</p>

<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

<var>factor</var> to be used in the generation of this expiry date

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.
