I have images in my ~/Content/Images folder. And these images are used in Layout and other pages. When i request a page "Contact", it loads images referenced on that page and i can see requests in IIS log for each image load. This is ok for the first request. and for 2nd and further requests to contact page, i do not want these images to be requested from server again, want them to be load from cache.
I don’t want to change security settings in my web.config
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<add name="Cache-Control" value="no-cache, no-store" />
<add name="Pragma" value="no-cache" />
<add name="Expires" value="-1" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
I am trying to add output cache setting for images as
<system.webServer>
<caching>
<profiles>
<add extension=".gif" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" location="Client" />
<add extension=".jpg" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" location="Client" />
<add extension=".jpeg" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" location="Client" />
<add extension=".png" policy="CacheUntilChange" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" location="Client" />
</profiles>
</caching>
<staticContent>
<clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="1.00:00:00" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
But above setting still sending a requests for images each time I am refreshing the page.
do not want session values to be cached so I set cache-control to no-cache.
I want to stop these requests for static images until I change it. What i am missing here?
