Description

This might be an issue not specific to this module but this is where i encountered it.

if i set lua_code_cache off in http block, i get the error the module is not found, when i comment that config line, the module loads and everything works.

Any idea why this might be happening?
I needed this in order to work on the scripts without restarting nginx all the time.
Also, not sure if it's relevant, but openresty is running in docker (based on alpine).

Thank you

Research direction

Reproduce the report in an OpenResty Docker image based on Alpine, first with lua_code_cache off in the http block and then with that setting removed. Trace how the http_cache module is located and loaded in both cases; done means identifying the cause and documenting or implementing a verified fix.
