#cache_control(*values) ⇒ Object

Specify response freshness policy for HTTP caches (Cache-Control header). Any number of non-value directives (:public, :private, :no_cache, :no_store, :must_revalidate, :proxy_revalidate) may be passed along with a Hash of value directives (:max_age, :min_stale, :s_max_age).

cache_control :public, :must_revalidate, :max_age => 60
=> Cache-Control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=60

See RFC 2616 / 14.9 for more on standard cache control directives: tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.9.1

end

#etag(value, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Set the response entity tag (HTTP ‘ETag’ header) and halt if conditional GET matches. The value argument is an identifier that uniquely identifies the current version of the resource. The kind argument indicates whether the etag should be used as a :strong (default) or :weak cache validator.

When the current request includes an ‘If-None-Match’ header with a matching etag, execution is immediately halted. If the request method is GET or HEAD, a ‘304 Not Modified’ response is sent.

#expires(amount, *values) ⇒ Object

Set the Expires header and Cache-Control/max-age directive. Amount can be an integer number of seconds in the future or a Time object indicating when the response should be considered “stale”. The remaining “values” arguments are passed to the #cache_control helper:

expires 500, :public, :must_revalidate
=> Cache-Control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=60
=> Expires: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 08:50:17 GMT

end

#last_modified(time) ⇒ Object

Set the last modified time of the resource (HTTP ‘Last-Modified’ header) and halt if conditional GET matches. The time argument is a Time, DateTime, or other object that responds to to_time.

When the current request includes an ‘If-Modified-Since’ header that is equal or later than the time specified, execution is immediately halted with a ‘304 Not Modified’ response.
