Configure my web server to set caching headers

[genius88]

Can anyone help me to configure my web server to explicitly set caching headers and apply them to all cacheable static resources?

This is a requirement from Google at http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/caching.html#LeverageBrowserCaching

If you need my help as a commercial service, you can send me a PM.

Otherwise, provide us with information what have you already done, and what does not work?

You can do this in the .htaccess file, here is an example of mine. I have an assets folder where I place static resources that should be cached.

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
   ExpiresActive on
   ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType application/x-javascript  "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType application/javascript  "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType image/ico "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 months"
   ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 months"
</IfModule>

You will want to do some google searches to see exactly what is possible, but this should give you something to go on.
