Description

Lets say I have the following setting in lighttpd.conf:

expire.url = ( "/images/" => "access 7 days")

If the images dir is located at http://site.com/images then the expires work correct.

If the images dir is located at http://site.com/templates/images then no expire headers are sent.

I've tried using:

expire.url = ( "/images" => "access 7 days") and
expire.url = ( "images" => "access 7 days")

but that makes no difference.

mod_expire directives match the prefix of the URL, which is why

expire.url = ( "/images/" => "access 7 days" )
matches only those URLs beginning /images/

To match /images/ anywhere in the URL, wrap the directive in a condition using $HTTP["url"] =~ "/images/" which is a regex match:

    $HTTP["url"] =~ "/images/" {
         expire.url = ( "" => "access 7 days" )
    }

Inside the condition, the expire.url prefix of "" matches all URLs and will add the caching headers.
