=head1 NAME

Apache::AxKit::Plugin::QueryStringCacheRegexp - Cache based on QS and
regular expression matching

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  SetHandler axkit
  AxAddPlugin Apache::AxKit::Plugin::QueryStringCacheRegexp
  PerlSetVar AxQueryStringCacheRegexpUse    '\w{2,15}'
  PerlSetVar AxQueryStringCacheRegexpIgnore 'foo.*'

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a replacement for
Apache::AxKit::Plugin::QueryStringCache.  It offers the following at the
expense of a little overhead:

The querystring is "taken apart", the parameters are matched against a
positive (I<use>) and a negative (I<ignore>) pattern, both to be
specified in F<httpd.conf>. A changed order of parameters, old (C<&>)
vs. new-style (C<;>) delimiters or multiple occurances of the same
parameter will not force AxKit to retransform a document.

Parameters taken into account will have to match the I<use>-pattern
I<and not> match the I<ignore>-pattern (if given).

Setting C<AxDebugLevel 7> or greater prints some debug-info to the log.

C<PerlSetVar AxQueryStringCacheRegexpUse    '^\w{2,15}$'>

Takes a perl regular expression; C<^\w+$> is used if omitted.

C<PerlSetVar AxQueryStringCacheRegexpIgnore '^foo.*'>

Takes a perl regular expression; No negative matching is made if
omitted.

In this example above, one defines all parameters of 2 to 15
alphanumeric characters which do not begin with "foo", as significant
for the cache.
