RE: [squid-users] Can't get apache to set Expire headers

Since you are using Servlet to build your page you can set response headers
in the Servlet code.
Use HttpServletResponse.setDateHeader("Expires", expirationDate);
    HttpServletResponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age="+setTheAge);

Hope this helps..

 Works for me just using last modified. You can use your own pages to
 set expiration instead of stick with mod_expires.

 Show what squid logs tell to you.

 What are you using as application server? Your static data are begin
 served by apache itself or by your app server?
