Caching of static content
Can someone point me to the documentation on how to handle caching of
static content? Images and static HTML documents are all being returned
without cach-control response headers but I am unsure how to set these
values. Thus the files are being retrieved each and every time.
Also, how to handle the situation when you want a javascript file to be
cached but after a release you need the file to be refreshed on the
client.
As you can tell I have been out of touch with web development for a
while.
Thanks in advance!

Use the Expires header, and set it to "tomorrow"?
