ASP.NET MVC Change Response Header when Serving Javascript/CSS Files

Question

Is there a way to automatically change the response header in ASP.NET MVC when the browser requests a Javascript or CSS file?

Basically, I want my Javascript and CSS files to be served with this set explicitly on in the response header:

Cache-Control: public

Help?

Here is an article you may find useful for adding Expires or Cache Control Header to static content in IIS.

Hope it helps.

If you have access to http server you can make it on http layer using some rewrite mechanism - it will be fastest way. Some hardware loadbalancer also allows this.
