I have a script that is consumming too much resource to provide data that could be retrieved only each minute. Is there a way to configure Apache 2 through an .htaccess file to specify headers telling to the client to keep the script result as is for one minute in its cache ?

I know this could be done through the script itself, but I would like to do this through the webserver’s configuration.

    mod_expires is the good solution.

    If you are on a unix-like system :

    a2enmod expires
apache2ctl restart

    Then you will be able to define the expiration conditions for a given file, or define the cache policy according to mimetype through your .htaccess file.

    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On

    ExpiresByType image/gif A3600

    <Files scriptToCache.php>
        ExpiresDefault A60
    </Files>
</IfModule>

    Here “A3600” means that the file expires 3600 seconds after access.

    More information here : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_expires.html
