+mod_expire controls the Expire header in the Response Header of HTTP/1.0

+aggressivly like images, stylesheets or similar.
+
+Options
+=======
+
+expire.url
+  assignes a expiration to all files below the specified path. The
+  specification of the time is made up of: ::
+
+    <access|modification> <number> <years|months|days|hours|minutes|seconds>
+
+  following the syntax used by mod_expire in Apache 1.3.x and later.
+    
+  Example: ::
+    
+    expire.url = ( "/images/" => "access 1 hour" )
+
