Hi,

from 2.4.48 on, mod_proxy-cache example [1] begins to fail for me.
Unfortunately I can not manage to expose this issue outside
apache-rex framework sofar. With 2.4.46, I can not see this at all.

$ git clone https://github.com/pgajdos/apache-rex.git
$ cd apache-rex
$ ./run-rex mod_proxy-cache

Former behavior for 2.4.46:

< X-Cache: HIT from test

< X-Cache: HIT from test
< X-Cache: HIT from test
< X-Cache: HIT from test
< X-Cache: HIT from test
< X-Cache: HIT from test
1 misses, 1 revalidates and 8 hits

Roughly: the example config (/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/httpd.conf) looks like:

------------------------------8<------------------------------------
ServerName test
User abuild
Group abuild
Listen 60080
PidFile /tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/pid
ErrorLog /tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/error_log

### example configuration

LogFormat "%s %{cache-status}e" cache_format

Listen 60081
<VirtualHost *:60081>
ErrorLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/error_log-backend"
DocumentRoot "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/htdocs-backend"
<Directory "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/htdocs-backend">
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Listen 60082
<VirtualHost *:60082>
ErrorLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/error_log-reverse-proxy"

<Location "/app/">
ProxyPass "http://localhost:60081/"
</Location>

CacheSocache shmcb
CacheSocacheMaxSize 102400
CacheEnable socache "/"

CacheHeader on

CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/reverse-proxy-uncached.log" cache_format env=cache-miss
CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/reverse-proxy-cached.log" cache_format env=cache-hit
CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/reverse-proxy-revalidated.log" cache_format env=cache-revalidate
</VirtualHost>

Listen 60083
<VirtualHost *:60083>
ErrorLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/error_log-forward-proxy"

ProxyRequests On
<Proxy "*">
Require local
</Proxy>

CacheSocache shmcb
CacheSocacheMaxSize 102400
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_cache.html#cacheenable
CacheEnable socache http://localhost:60081/

CacheHeader on

CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/forward-proxy-uncached.log" cache_format env=cache-miss
CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/forward-proxy-cached.log" cache_format env=cache-hit
CustomLog "/tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/forward-proxy-revalidated.log" cache_format env=cache-revalidate
</VirtualHost>
------------------------------>8------------------------------------

And the script runs 10 requests on the server:

for i in $(seq 1 10); do
curl -s -v --proxy http://localhost:60083/ http://localhost:60081/ 2>&1 | grep 'X-Cache'
sleep 0.1
done


And again, I cannot reproduce for example with httpd run with
fx. -f /tmp/apache-rex/mod_proxy-cache/httpd.conf and running requests
manually. I will try harder, I just want to know first whether this is
something known or whether I have something completely wrong in the
configuration.

Thanks for your attention,
Petr
