org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources - ability to cache rule [message #122350]

It is possible to specify cache rule ( eg. private or public and max-age )
for a specific resource ?
If not is there another way to enable the browser to cache the image files ?
Eg.
<extension point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
<resource
alias="/img"
base-name="/resources/icons"/>
</extension>

Thanks
- Walter.

You should file an enhancement request for this. It's currently not
supported. But it should not be too difficult to add support for it.

As a workaround, you can create your own ResourceServlet which sends the
headers you want and exposes the resources you need.

The current implementation supports etag and the last-modified headers.
This should reply with a 304 to the browser for unmodified images so
that it uses the cached imaged.
