I have some static images in a folder on my IIS 6-based website that I want to be downloaded as little as possible (to preserve bandwidth). I've set the Content Expiration to expire after 30 days. Is there anything else I can do in IIS to try to maximize the caching by browsers, proxy, and gateway caches?
Such as adding a Cache-Control header? Anything else?

- Allow overriding static content setting
- set cache settings using following commands
- Cache it on client
TAG : Good answer, but I guess I should have specified IIS6 -
Here's my answer from this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102215/expires-in-http-header-for-static-content-how-to
@ECHO OFF REM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REM Caching - sets the caching on static files in a web site REM syntax REM Caching.CMD 1 d:\sites\MySite\WWWRoot\*.CSS REM REM %1 is the WebSite ID REM %2 is the path & Wildcard - for example, d:\sites\MySite\WWWRoot\*.CSS REM _adsutil is the path to ADSUtil.VBS REM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SETLOCAL REM ******* REM SET THIS TO POINT TO adsutil.vbs - TYPICALLY c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs REM ******* SET _adsutil=D:\Apps\Scripts\adsutil.vbs FOR %%i IN (%2) DO ( ECHO Setting Caching on %%~ni%%~xi CSCRIPT %_adsutil% CREATE W3SVC/%1/root/%%~ni%%~xi "IIsWebFile" CSCRIPT %_adsutil% SET W3SVC/%1/root/%%~ni%%~xi/HttpExpires "D, 0x69780" ECHO. )
Which sets the caching value for each CSS file in a web root to 5 days, then run it like this:
Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.css Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.js Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.html Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.htm Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.gif Caching.CMD 1 \site\wwwroot\*.jpg
Kind of painful, but workable.
BTW - to get the value for HttpExpires, set the value in the GUI, then run
AdsUtil.vbs ENUM W3SVC/1/root/File.txt
to get the actual value you need
