mod_cache requires the services of one or more storage
management modules. Two storage management modules are included in
the base Apache distribution:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><em>mod_disk_cache</em></li><br />
- implements a disk based storage manager for use with mod_proxy</br>
- <li><em>mod_mem_cache</em></li><br />
- implements an in-memory based storage manager. mod_mem_cache
+ <dl>
+ <dt><em>mod_disk_cache</em></dt>
+ <dd>implements a disk based storage manager for use with mod_proxy</dd>
+ <dt><em>mod_mem_cache</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>mod_mem_cache</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>)
- </ul>
+ 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>
