Image and resource caching with htaccess
Wednesday 23rd March '11
This is as much a bookmark for myself as anything. I just discovered this .htaccess trick to easily set resource caching with apache. It requires mod_headers enabled which comes compiled by default but switched off. Then all you need do is add something like this to your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_headers.c> <FilesMatch ".(flv|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|swf)$"> Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000" </FilesMatch> </IfModule>
Which will cache images and flash for one month. The link posted above has loads more info.
