HI

Setup : Apache 2.2.29 with mod_headers enabled.[Windows]

Problem : I am using "Cache-Control" to stop caching of pages. It works fine for html pages but 2files on my project that are javascript files are cached according to a vulnerability scanner.

Is there a way to avoid this with mod_headers ?

Code :
apr_table_add(r->err_headers_out, "Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store");

With mod headers you can simply use you apache config.

Like

Code:
Header always edit Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store"


http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_headers.html#header

I use mod_expires to do the oposite from you.

Code:

ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType text/css A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType text/javascript A2592000
ExpiresByType image/icon A2592000
ExpiresByType application/javascript A604800
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000


You can set it down to a single second. That will prevent caching.

if you still have a question please ask again.
