Could someone explain me why it is so ?
I believe that is exactly what most people expect and want. For example, people want different expiration times for html versus gif versus css. Many people would be annoyed if html generated by cgi was not matched. For what you want, you can use ExpiresDefault scoped in a <Directory> or <Files> section to apply only to the specific content that you need. Joshua.
