environment, you will probably want to use your webserver to deliver
static content; for an example see L<USING WITH APACHE>, below.
-=head1 DEFAULT BEHAVIOR
+=head1 DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR
By default, Static::Simple will deliver all files having extensions
(that is, bits of text following a period (C<.>)), I<except> files
},
);
+=head2 Controlling caching with Expires header
+
+The files served by Static::Simple will have a Last-Modified header set,
+which allows some browsers to cache them for a while. However if you want
+to explicitly set an Expires header, such as to allow proxies to cache your
+static content, then you can do so by setting the "expires" config option.
+
+The value indicates the number of seconds after access time to allow caching.
+So a value of zero really means "don't cache at all", and any higher values
+will keep the file around for that long.
+
+ MyApp->config(
+ static => {
+ expires => 3600, # Caching allowed for one hour.
+ },
+ );
