    <p>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:</p>
    <dl>
    <dt><em><code><a href="../mod/mod_disk_cache.html">mod_disk_cache</a></code></em></dt>
    <dd>implements a disk based storage manager for use with <code><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code></dd>
    <dt><em><code><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code></em></dt>
    <dd>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. <em><code><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code></em>
    is most useful when used to cache locally generated content or to cache 
    backend server content for mod_proxy configured for ProxyPass (aka <em>reverse proxy</em>)</dd>
    </dl>
    <p>Content stored and retrived keyed to the URL. Content with
    access protections is not cached.</p>
