htaccess ExpiresDefault conditional

I have in my Apache 2.4's .htaccess the following:

ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"

However, pages that start with today_ (files actually not present on the server) should not be cached. How would you write that condition?

Solution

  • If you are using Apache 2.4 and you should be :) You can simply use a condition statement. I think these are overlooked a lot. I would approach it this way. 

    #if URL contains today_ turn it off
<If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ /today_/">
    ExpiresActive Off
</If>
<Else>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
</Else>
