Hi That works when distinguishing between html and images. However, I suspect my problem is more subtle. If the page contains an attachment (content-type = application/msword for example, rather than text/html) I need to set a different cache-control header. So are FilesMatch and ExpiresByType looking at the content-type header value and comparing, or something else? Also, if I were to set my Header selectively in my application code for some cases, can I set my gloabl type settings in httpd.conf to only set the Header if it is not already present? That would help .. thanks, Baljeet.
