# 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# Additionally, consider that outdated proxies may miscache

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