So, is the only way to get content for both of the below requests cached correctly to make the backend system set the Expires header and setting 'CacheIgnoreQueryString Off' in httpd.conf? /listnews?page=1 /listnews?page=2 > > How will the Cache-Control and Expires (ExpiresByType) work together? > > The Expires* directives also set max-age on Cache-Control. Yes, I just tested and it appears to do that. By the way, I noticed that if no expires header is set by the backend system, Apache sets the header value based on Last-Modified header and the CacheLastModifiedFactor directive values. The calculation is described in CacheLastModifiedFactor directive documentation but the documentation only talks about the expiry date calculation and doesn't explicitly state that also the Expires header is set by mod_cache. Since the current wording could be interpreted to refer only to local cache internal operation it might be helpful to explicitly mention that the Expires header will be set. > Using those directives, you are influencing how down-stream caches > will behave, not the local cache.

I just double checked this and if I set s-maxage in Apache it does appear to make the response cacheable by the local cache. > You'll want to use the CacheDefaultExpire directive to control the > local cache.

Yes, I found this out the hard way :( Any hope of getting this restriction removed some time in the future? thanks, marko --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
