UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = expire
    Match \.(js|swf) Expire 1 month
    Match \.ico Expire 1 year
}

Hugo,

Is your syntax above correct?
Should it say ExpirePeriod ?

Oh, crap. I forgot that I moved the Expire option from the UrlToolkit section to Directory section. My bad.

Directory {
    DirectoryID = expire_month
    Path = /
    Extensions = js, swf
    ExpirePeriod = 1 month
}

Directory {
    DirectoryID = expire_year
    Path = /
    Extensions = ico
    ExpirePeriod = 12 months
}

If you ask me, there not much use for an expire time of a year for .ico files. Very likely that the browser cache is cleared in the meantime. Add the ico extension to expire_month for a simple configuration.

Hi,

1 more question..
When do we use the [, public|private] option?

Private: only the browser is allowed to cache the content.
Public: allow proxies to also cache the content.
