Compression +allows the static web pages to be delivered with less bandwidth. The index.php +of Roundcube Webmail already enables compression on its output. The settings +below allow compression to occur for all static files. Caching sets HTTP +response headers that enable a user's web client to understand what is static +and how to cache it. + +The caching directives used are: + * Etags - sets at tag so the client can request is the page has changed + * Cache-control - defines the age of the page and that the page is 'public' + This enables clients to cache javascript files that don't have private + information between sessions even if using HTTPS. It also allows proxies + to share the same cached page between users. + * Expires - provides another hint to increase the lifetime of static pages. + +For more information refer to RFC 2616. + +Side effects: +------------- +These directives are designed for production use. If you are using this in +a development environment you may get horribly confused if your webclient +is caching stuff that you changed on the server.
