Htaccess cache-control does not work for JS files

[Mr. Wimpy]

Maybe not 100% Joomla related, but...

The JS files are not cached.
I use the following in .htaccess

Code: Select all

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
(...)
  # CSS & JS - 1 week
  <filesMatch "\.(css|js)$">
    Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
  </filesMatch>
</ifModule>

Oddly it does work for css files.
For images too. Removed for clarity.

So does

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  ExpiresActive on
  ExpiresByType text/javascript    "access plus 604800 seconds"
</ifModule>

I also gave it it's own line, like <filesMatch "\.js$">.
But nope.

What am I missing?
How do I get Cache-Control working for JS files too?

Thank you, Wim

Is this useful? https://serverfault.com/questions/81018 ... -on-apache

Thank you, but no, it is not.

mod_expires (that is talked about in your link) works.
But mod_expires looks more complicated, because you need to figure out (all) the types.

I wanted to try mod_headers, because it looks more readable: cache-control based on file extension.
All (seem to) work, except .js files.
