Question

I am running Apache httpd on Windows. I want to get Apache to make index.html uncacheable – but only the home index.html, no other index.html files. This is what I have so far:

<Directory "D:\path\to\root">
   <FilesMatch "index.html$">
      Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, must-revalidate"
   </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

It works – but works for all index.html files. How can I narrow this down to just the one index.html? Apparently I can use regex in Directory, but I this did not work:

<Directory ~ "D:\\path\\to\\root">

This works nicely:

<Location /index.html>
   Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, must-revalidate"
</Location>
