Setting expires header for static-only apps

0

I notice in the Webfaction static files help docs, it says you can now enable far-future expires headers on the nginx (static-only) apps, if you enter "expires max" (without the quotes) in the "Extra info" box when creating the app.

If I didn't enter this initially when setting up the app, do I really have to delete my app and re-create it with this typed into the box in order to enable far-future expires headers? I set the option just now and YSlow is reporting no effect at this point. Wondering if there is some reset I can do for it to recognize the setting now.

The Control Panel settings of existing applications cannot be changed. You will need to re-create the app if you want to enable that settings.

OK I re-created the static-only app with "expires max" in the "Extra info", but YSlow is still telling me it's not working.

This might be a dumb question, but if I'm symlinking from the static app folders to the folders in my django application's site_media folder, which themselves contain a bunch of symlinks to the actual files (made with the staticfiles app), will the expires-header I've supposedly set still have an effect?

You wisely waited for me to figure out I screwed something up. I had mixed up which static app I was directing my "Website" to for serving static media. It's all good now. Symlinking like crazy works fine.
