Yah, when I went through mod_cache tonight, I tossed that same code, too.  I 
agree that it was a pointless restriction.

The reason that mod_dir doesn't cache the result is that the internal_redirect 
invocation of the handler doesn't call quick_handler.  I think that's bogus 
and redirect should call quick_handler.  (And, adding that caused it to be 
cached.)

Funny that this was brought up a few weeks ago and I tossed and fixed that 
same bug independently tonight.  ;-)  Time for it to be doomed, I guess.
