    Your syntax is invalid.

    <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=604800;private" />

    Mind you this won’t work for CSS/JS or anything else that isn’t a HTML file. In those cases you need to set real HTTP headers server-side (which is usually done using webserver settings or via dynamic server-side languages like PHP, .Net, Coldfusion, etc…).
