Description of problem:
If one has CacheDirLevels=1  that there is a quite high chance we will have 2 cached files in one subdirectory. Then htcacheclean shows just one of them and totally ignores the others)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I believe all httpd for 7.x and 8.x

How reproducible
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
Set CacheRoot for example to use /var/cache/httpd/proxy and CacheDirLevels 1. Then put some static content to /var/www/html/ with many small images and access a content with the webbrowser. The directory will be populated. Using tree one can check that sometimes we have more than one header file in a subdirectory, like:

$ ll Xl/
total 20
-rw-------. 1 obscuredUser obscuredGroup Oct  9 10:13 AXqo1qrLdD8d_Rgip
-rw-------. 1 obscuredUser obscuredGroup Oct  9 10:13 AXqo1qrLdD8d_Rgip
-rw-------. 1 obscuredUser obscuredGroup Oct  9 10:14 MDJi0Upkcetk3Ffr5CkA.data
-rw-------. 1 obscuredUser obscuredGroup Oct  9 10:14 MDJi0Upkcetk3Ffr5CkA.header

then using "htcacheclean -p . -A" doesn't show all cached files

Actual results:
one cached file showed

Expected results:
all cached files showed

Additional info:

I was thinking to use for example CacheDirLevels=5 but there is still concern:
- more subdirectories = some impact on filesystem
- still there is a risk we will end up with more than 1 header in the subdirectory with a lot of cache. The question what is the chance, I understand we have some hashing algorith here

Info about the investigation:

so, in strace we have just read one file:

and done, it goes to /ObscuredPath/WEB/var/cache/H6

Odd, however it looks like expected in the code:

 406 static int list_urls(char *path, apr_pool_t *pool, apr_off_t round)

list_urls has a while loop:

 424     while (apr_dir_read(&info, APR_FINFO_TYPE, dir) == APR_SUCCESS && !interrupted) {


that checks for a file and the extension. It recognize . and .., then itterate again and hits a regular file:

 436         else if (info.filetype == APR_REG) {

eventually we hit:

 456                             if (apr_file_read_full(fd, &disk_info, len, &len)
 457                                     == APR_SUCCESS) {

entering:
 465                                     if (listextended) {
hits:
 498                                         else {
 499 
 500                                             apr_file_printf(


Using /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/httpd-2.4.37 with my limited coding knowledge I was trying to leverage gdb, but I can't understand why gdb doesn't show me break that I believe should hit. The last thing it access (before breaking the loop) is:

 498                                         else {
 499 
 500                                             apr_file_printf(

and in gdb I can't see it reaches:

 561                                 break;

however it ends up the loop without processing next header files and executing:

 573     apr_dir_close(dir);

However, the most important why it takes care of just one file and ignores others
