Unable to conditionally set cache-control

[<mitchel.carlsen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please excuse my query as I’m new to apache and open source in general.  I’m attempting to set the cache-control to no-cache by using the following statements within my httpd.conf:

 

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|js|css)$">

Header unset ETag

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Header set Pragma "no-cache"

Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"

</FilesMatch>

 

When I use the configuration above, I get the following unexpected response (home.html page):

 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:35:14 GMT

Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)

Connection: close

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

 

If I remove the ‘FilesMatch’ conditional statement and use the following::

 

Header unset ETag

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Header set Pragma "no-cache"

Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"

 

I then get the expected results on the response (home.html page):

 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:43:04 GMT

Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)

Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate

Pragma: no-cache

Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT

Connection: close

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

 

I have not been able to get the conditional ‘FilesMatch’ statement to work.  Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or may be missing?  Thanks in advance for your help.
