Method Detail

cachePrivatelyForAboutOneYear

public static void cachePrivatelyForAboutOneYear(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
Sets the Cache-control and Expires headers to allow browsers, but not proxies, to cache the response for up to approximately 1 year. This kind of caching is appropriate for non-public content such as avatars, attachments, thumbnails, etc. More specifically, this sets the following headers:

   Cache-control: 
   Expires: Wed, 31 Dec 1969 23:59:59 GMT
 

The Expires header is set to a date in the past to prevent HTTP 1.0 proxies from caching what is non publicly-accessible content. Since the Cache-control header takes precendence over the Expires header, HTTP 1.1-capable proxies will still cache the data privately.

If the response already has a Cache-control header, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:
response - the HttpServletResponse on which we will set the header
Since:
v5.0

cachePubliclyForAboutOneYear

public static void cachePubliclyForAboutOneYear(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
Sets the Cache-control and Expires headers to allow browsers and proxies to cache the response for up to approximately 1 year. This kind of caching is appropriate for public content such as icons, sprites, etc.

   Cache-control: 
   Expires: "now" + 1 year
 

If the response already has a Cache-control header, it will be overwritten.

Parameters:
response - the HttpServletResponse on which we will set the header
Since:
v5.0
