<h3>Summary</h3>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>This module controls the setting of the <code>Expires</code>
 | 
						||
    HTTP header and the <code>max-age</code> directive of the
 | 
						||
    <code>Cache-Control</code> HTTP header in server responses. The
 | 
						||
    expiration date can set to be relative to either the time the
 | 
						||
    source file was last modified, or to the time of the client
 | 
						||
    access.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>These HTTP headers are an instruction to the client about the
 | 
						||
    document's validity and persistence. If cached, the document may
 | 
						||
    be fetched from the cache rather than from the source until this
 | 
						||
    time has passed. After that, the cache copy is considered
 | 
						||
    "expired" and invalid, and a new copy must be obtained from the
 | 
						||
    source.</p> 
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>To modify <code>Cache-Control</code> directives other than
 | 
						||
    <code>max-age</code> (see <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.9">RFC
 | 
						||
    2616 section 14.9</a>), you can use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_headers.html#header">Header</a></code> directive.</p>

    <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="#expiresdefault">ExpiresDefault</a></code> and
 | 
						||
    <code class="directive"><a href="#expiresbytype">ExpiresByType</a></code> directives
 | 
						||
    can also be defined in a more readable syntax of the form:</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						||
      ExpiresDefault "<base> [plus] {<num>
 | 
						||
      <type>}*"<br />
 | 
						||
      ExpiresByType type/encoding "<base> [plus]
 | 
						||
      {<num> <type>}*"
 | 
						||
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>where <base> is one of:</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <ul>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>access</code></li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
      <li><code>now</code> (equivalent to
 | 
						||
      '<code>access</code>')</li>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
      <li><code>modification</code></li>
 | 
						||
    </ul>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>The <code>plus</code> keyword is optional. <num>
 | 
						||
    should be an integer value [acceptable to <code>atoi()</code>],
 | 
						||
    and <type> is one of:</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <ul>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>years</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>months</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>weeks</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>days</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>hours</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>minutes</code></li>
 | 
						||
      <li><code>seconds</code></li>
 | 
						||
    </ul>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>For example, any of the following directives can be used to
 | 
						||
    make documents expire 1 month after being accessed, by
 | 
						||
    default:</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						||
      ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"<br />
 | 
						||
      ExpiresDefault "access plus 4 weeks"<br />
 | 
						||
      ExpiresDefault "access plus 30 days"
 | 
						||
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>The expiry time can be fine-tuned by adding several
 | 
						||
    '<num> <type>' clauses:</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						||
      ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 month 15
 | 
						||
      days 2 hours"<br />
 | 
						||
      ExpiresByType image/gif "modification plus 5 hours 3
 | 
						||
      minutes"
 | 
						||
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>Note that if you use a modification date based setting, the
 | 
						||
    Expires header will <strong>not</strong> be added to content
 | 
						||
    that does not come from a file on disk. This is due to the fact
 | 
						||
    that there is no modification time for such content.</p>

    <p>This directive enables or disables the generation of the

    <code>Expires</code> and <code>Cache-Control</code> headers for
 | 
						||
    the document realm in question.  (That is, if found in an
 | 
						||
    <code>.htaccess</code> file, for instance, it applies only to
 | 
						||
    documents generated from that directory.) If set to
 | 
						||
    <code>Off</code>, the headers will not be generated for any
 | 
						||
    document in the realm (unless overridden at a lower level, such as
 | 
						||
    an <code>.htaccess</code> file overriding a server config
 | 
						||
    file). If set to <code>On</code>, the headers will be added to
 | 
						||
    served documents according to the criteria defined by the
 | 
						||
    <code class="directive"><a href="#expiresbytype">ExpiresByType</a></code> and
 | 
						||
    <code class="directive"><a href="#expiresdefault">ExpiresDefault</a></code>

    <p>Note that this directive does not guarantee that an

    <code>Expires</code> or <code>Cache-Control</code> header will be

    generated. If the criteria aren't met, no header will be sent, and

    <p>This directive defines the value of the <code>Expires</code>
 | 
						||
    header and the <code>max-age</code> directive of the
 | 
						||
    <code>Cache-Control</code> header generated for documents of the
 | 
						||
    specified type (<em>e.g.</em>, <code>text/html</code>). The second
 | 
						||
    argument sets the number of seconds that will be added to a base
 | 
						||
    time to construct the expiration date.  The <code>Cache-Control:
 | 
						||
    max-age</code> is calculated by subtracting the request time from
 | 
						||
    the expiration date and expressing the result in seconds.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>The base time is either the last modification time of the
 | 
						||
    file, or the time of the client's access to the document. Which
 | 
						||
    should be used is specified by the
 | 
						||
    <code><var><code></var></code> field; <code>M</code>
 | 
						||
    means that the file's last modification time should be used as
 | 
						||
    the base time, and <code>A</code> means the client's access
 | 
						||
    time should be used.</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <p>The difference in effect is subtle. If <code>M</code> is used,
 | 
						||
    all current copies of the document in all caches will expire at
 | 
						||
    the same time, which can be good for something like a weekly
 | 
						||
    notice that's always found at the same URL. If <code>A</code> is
 | 
						||
    used, the date of expiration is different for each client; this
 | 
						||
    can be good for image files that don't change very often,
 | 
						||
    particularly for a set of related documents that all refer to
 | 
						||
    the same images (<em>i.e.</em>, the images will be accessed
 | 
						||
    repeatedly within a relatively short timespan).</p>
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
 | 
						||
      # enable expirations<br />
 | 
						||
      ExpiresActive On<br />
 | 
						||
      # expire GIF images after a month in the client's cache<br />

 |

 | 
						||
 |

    <p>Note that this directive only has effect if
 | 
						||
    <code>ExpiresActive On</code> has been specified. It overrides,
 |

    for the specified MIME type <em>only</em>, any expiration date
 | 
						||
    set by the <code class="directive"><a href="#expiresdefault">ExpiresDefault</a></code>
 |
