I've got an app that runs on a tomcat web server, and I use mod-jk on my apache web server side.
I think I've managed to configure everything to work seamlessly, I ran into issues when I wanted to cache static assets on webserver, for some reason my response headers expires is set to **1994**, these are my headers for one of the _javascript_ files I want to server as static asset and cache it:
Accept-Ranges:bytes
Cache-Control:no-cache
Connection:Keep-Alive
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Type:application/_javascript_
Date:Fri, 29 May 2015 23:18:25 GMT
ETag:W/"604348-1432950682000"
Expires:Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT
Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=100
Last-Modified:Fri, 29 May 2015 23:18:25 GMT
Server:Apache
Transfer-Encoding:chunked
Vary:Accept-Encoding
Per the instructions I found on [this website][1] I tried to set it inside my virtual host, like in the example below :
<VirtualHost *:80>
Alias /assets /opt/www/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/assets
ErrorLog "|/opt/www/apache/2.2.25/bin/rotatelogs /opt/www/logs/apache/app/_error_log-%Y-%m-%d-%H 86400"
CustomLog "|/opt/www/apache/2.2.25/bin/rotatelogs /opt/www/logs/apache/app/_access_log-%Y-%m-%d-%H 86400" common
JkMount /* workerdev
#--- Disabled Trace -------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
#----------------------------
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType application/x-_javascript_ "now plus 1 months"
</VirtualHost>
This is my first time doing something like this, so I m not sure what else do I need to do, and why is there this default `Expires`.
It has been like 9 or 10 hours of different experimenting and none of it worked.
Any suggestions what else could I try?
**Additional details:**
It seems like that I'm able to add a http header or but can't override the existing value, by adding this to the `VirtualHost`
Header unset Cache-Control
Header add Cache-Control "max-age=290304000, public"
Header unset Expires
Header add Expires "Thu, 01 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMT"
I get this for the response headers :
Cache-Control:no-cache
Cache-Control:max-age=290304000, public
Expires:Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT
Expires:Thu, 01 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMT
Very odd right? Where else could this header values be set from?
