Hi,

The CacheMaxExpire directive is not enforced as stated in the documentation 
(quote: "This restriction is enforced even if an expiry date was supplied with 
the document").

After looking at the source of mod_cache.c you can see that the maxexpire value 
is only used IF the expiration date provided is bad AND the last modified date 
provided is good.

Basically if an expiration date is provided in the document fetched, the 
CacheMaxExpire value is ignored.

I assume it is a bug in the source rather than a bug in the documentation since 
I think that CacheMaxExpire directive must really be enforced...
