    Hi,

    I have the following configured on my httpd.conf file:

    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 week"

    This works fine and it gives the Flash movies an expiration of 1 week.
    I have one Flash movie for which I want to give an expiration of 1 day.
    Is there a way to override the expiration rule above for a specific file?
    If so, how do I do it?

    regards
    Jason

    I think the solution needs to be in the apache configuration file.
    Apache has a very strong capabalities and I am sure there is a way to set the expiration settings for a specific file
