# Expires headers (for better cache control)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# These are pretty far-future expires headers
# They assume you control versioning with cachebusting query params like:
# <script src="application.js?20100608">
# Additionally, consider that outdated proxies may miscache
#
# www.stevesouders.com/blog/2008/08/23/revving-filenames-dont-use-querystring/

# If you don`t use filenames to version, lower the css and js to something like "access plus 1 week"

# Perhaps better to whitelist expires rules? Perhaps.
