Expires
The Expires
HTTP header contains the date/time after which the
response is considered expired.
Invalid expiration dates with value 0 represent a date in the past and mean that the resource is already expired.
Note: If there is a Cache-Control
header
with the max-age
or s-maxage
directive in the response,
the Expires
header is ignored.
