Description:	Shared object cache (socache) based storage module for the HTTP caching filter.
Status:	Extension
Module Identifier:	cache_socache_module
Source File:	mod_cache_socache.c

Summary

mod_cache_socache implements a shared object cache (socache) based storage manager for mod_cache.

The headers and bodies of cached responses are combined, and stored underneath a single key in the shared object cache. A number of implementations of shared object caches are available to choose from.

Multiple content negotiated responses can be stored concurrently, however the caching of partial content is not yet supported by this module.

# Turn on caching
CacheSocache shmcb
CacheSocacheMaxSize 102400
<Location "/foo">
    CacheEnable socache
</Location>

# Fall back to the disk cache
CacheSocache shmcb
CacheSocacheMaxSize 102400
<Location "/foo">
    CacheEnable socache
    CacheEnable disk
</Location>

Note:

mod_cache_socache requires the services of mod_cache, which must be loaded before mod_cache_socache.
