How Can I Do This In Lighttpd?

Question

This is for Apache: <FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$"> Header set Cache-Control "max-age=290304000, public" </FilesMatch>

How do I do it for lighttpd?

Answer 1

It should acutally be quite easy with a regular expression on $HTTP["url"] and mod_setenv:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$" {
  setenv.add-response-header = ( "Cache-Control" => "max-age=290304000, public" )
}

If you need to manipulate the requests or responses in more detail, you should dig into mod_magnet.

Documentation hints:

• Configuration file for the core module
• mod_setenv
