Question

I cannot get the image files to cache. I have tried everything that I have found on this site and others and still cannot get them to cache.

Web config setting that I have tried

    <staticContent>
    <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="1.00:00:00" />
    </staticContent>
    <httpProtocol allowKeepAlive="true" />


    <caching enabled="true" enableKernelCache="true">
    <profiles>
    <add extension=".png" policy="CacheUntilChange" />
    <add extension=".jpg" policy="CacheForTimePeriod" duration="12:00:00" />
    </profiles>
    </caching>  

Here is the response headers for 1 of the images

    Key Value
    Response    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Cache-Control   no-cache
    Content-Type    image/png

Answer 1

The following should cause the browsers to cache your images:

<staticContent>
    <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="1.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>
<httpProtocol>
    <customHeaders>
        <add name="Cache-Control" value="public" />
    </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>

The <caching>...</caching> block is for server-side caching, not client side caching.
