Question

Despite of doing it in each file type handler, is there any simple way to set default expiry date of all types of file, e.g. json, jpg, html, css, js, etc?

Was it helpful?

Solution

As Nagi said, the connection handler called /handlers/main.c can be used to generate custom expiration HTTP headers.

You can also use content-type handlers which name in the /handlers directory must match the file type (html.c, json.c, jpg.c, etc.).

By default, G-WAN generates HTTP headers which may help proxy servers to do their job:

But a more fine-grained strategy can be used. That could be done in a future version by defining those content-related expirations in content-type handlers.
