implementation (you have suggested that) and once 2.2 is
released you can't do that anymore.
- * mod_cache currently trumps mod_authz_host. When serving local content,
- the directives: "Allow from 10.0.0.0/8\nDeny from all" become
- meaningless, as any content cached will be served to any IP address.
- Potential solutions:
- i. mod_cache can be modified to (or be able to) run as a normal
- handler (ie after the map to storage hook has been run) (presently
- vetoed)
- ii. mod_cache can be modified to run the map to storage hook.
- iii. mod_authz_host needs to be re-designed to issue "Vary: *" or
- or set r->no_cache for content like this which should not be
- cached. However figuring out the situation in which there is an
- "Allow from all" tautalogy is non-trivial and error-prone due to
- a) The common "Allow from all" which is set in all previously
- shipped default configs and b) if an admin adds a Deny while an
- entity is cached, it would have no effect.
