I wonder where you heard that from. As a thumb rule, expire is placed on
TYPES on objects. You can define various types, be it images, html files,
and others (like .gz/.zip/.rar/.bz2 and such)
Each of those has different expire timers, due to the different nature of
their life span. A gif will usually live for alot more than 3 minutes, and
so will a compressed archive file.
