Bug ID: 55596
Summary: Add date format used by Expires header
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.25
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: mod_headers
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It is practical to use mod_headers to insert Cache-Control headers in an http
response. It would be equally practical to be able set the Expires header using
mod_headers. While mod_expires can be used to set the Expires header, it's
often not adequate for more elaborate use cases, such as conditional use based
on the presence of environment variables. Using mod_headers to insert both of
these headers is important to ensure consistent behavior.
We propose that support be added for the date format used by the Expires header
(RFC 1123) for access time + seconds. Bug 40899 had a similar enhancement, but
without the possibility of adding seconds. The "u" format specifier is used,
and a seconds argument can be specified to add seconds to the time string
value.
Header always set Expires {3600}u
This adds an Expires header with the correct time format for access time plus
<seconds>, example:
Expires: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:06:22 GMT
This way, we can add cache control headers in a consistent manner:
Header always set Cache-Control "max-age=3600"
Header always set Expires %{3600}u
