I wrote the Vary support for Apache's mod_disk_cache at one time, and 
would be happy to provide feedback on what worked and what didn't.  To 
me it seems the lack of Vary (and hence enable compression in most 
cases) is a major blocker for larger adoption.

Have you looked at the httpd-test project, used by mod_perl and httpd?

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/test/trunk/perl-framework/

Its some crazy Perl stuff, but it makes it quite easy to build new test 
cases quickly.
