# Expires headers (for better cache control)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# These are pretty far-future expires headers.
# They assume you control versioning with filename-based cache busting
# Additionally, consider that outdated proxies may miscache

# If you don't use filenames to version, lower the CSS and JS to something like
# "access plus 1 week" or so.
