Lighttpd

First I had to add mod_expire to list of server modules in order to start playing with example from the demo config file. Later I added my own line to perform fast expire for given directory (/nocache/ in my case):

expire.url = ( "/nocache/" => "modification 1 seconds" )

Here is the proof:

telnet localhost 80

Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /nocache/test.txt HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 200 OK

it works!

This is the file:

cd /usr/local/www/data/
ls

nocache

cd nocache/
ls -l

total 2
rw-r--r- 1 root wheel 10 Feb 23 18:50 test.txt

so you can see that it should set expire to 10th February and not to today :)
