Hello all, Do we have any HTTP mirrors that currently add explicit Cache-Control max-age headers (ie, mod_expires in Apache) do the debian archive? If not, is it feasible to request this? For example, with Apache, something like: <IfModule mod_expires.c> <LocationMatch ^/debian/dists/.*> # Default to 15 minutes for all objects in this folder ExpiresDefault "access plus 15 minutes" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch ^/debian/dists/.*\.diff/(Index)?> # The Index file, and the directory index changes fairly rapidly ExpiresDefault "access plus 60 seconds" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch ^/debian/dists/.*/i18n/(Index|Translation-.*)?> # The Index file and translation files get updated ExpiresDefault "access plus 60 seconds" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch ^/debian/dists/.*/(binary-.*|source)/(Packages(\..*)?|Sources(\..*)?|Release)?> # Packages, Sources and Release files get updated frequently in non-stable... ExpiresDefault "access plus 60 seconds" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch ^/debian/dists/.*/(Contents-.*\.(bz|gz)|(In)?Release(\.gpg)?)?> ExpiresDefault "access plus 60 seconds" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch ^/debian/project/.*> ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 seconds" ExpiresActive On </LocationMatch> </IfModule> I think this should cover many of the volatile files that change with the *same* name; please point out any more files/folders that don't match the above, or suggest alternate timings. Are there any feeling for or against adding these headers? Is there a volunteer mirror site that would like to add this, please? ;) James --
