 260     should be considered for caching, even without a last-modified date.
 261     If neither a last-modified date nor an expiry date are provided with
 262     the document then the value specified by the
 263     <code class="directive">CacheDefaultExpire</code> directive will be used to
 264     generate an expiration date.</p>

 282     <p>In the event that a document does not provide an expiry date but does
 283     provide a last-modified date, an expiry date can be calculated based on
 284     the time since the document was last modified. The
 285     <code class="directive">CacheLastModifiedFactor</code> directive specifies a
 286     <var>factor</var> to be used in the generation of this expiry date
 287     according to the following formula:
 288
 289     <code>expiry-period = time-since-last-modified-date * <var>factor</var>
 290     expiry-date = current-date + expiry-period</code>
 291
 292     For example, if the document was last modified 10 hours ago, and
 293     <var>factor</var> is 0.1 then the expiry-period will be set to
 294     10*0.1 = 1 hour. If the current time was 3:00pm then the computed
 295     expiry-date would be 3:00pm + 1hour = 4:00pm.
 296
 297     If the expiry-period would be longer than that set by
 298     <code class="directive">CacheMaxExpire</code>, then the latter takes
 299     precedence.</p>

 316     <p>The <code class="directive">CacheMaxExpire</code> directive specifies the maximum number of

 318     server. Thus, documents will be out of date at most this number of seconds. This maximum
