Component body

Aimed at web sites for developing countries, it makes use of the http protocol's Last-Modified and Expires headers so that browsers and caches can better decide whether to re-request a page.

For each contentType the admin can define how the Last-Modified and Expires headers will be dated in relation to the date the page was generated.

Expires header can be set to
- now, the moment the page was requested
- a week, a month, a year from now
Last-Modified Header can be set to
- now
- the last modified date of the node
- the last comment date of the node

If this module is used innappropriately, it could lead to users being shown out of date content.
