RTE HTMLarea

4.6. Server Configuration

Internet Explorer has caching problems that may affect the performance of the htmlArea RTE. These problems may be worked around with the following server configuration recommendations.

Apache configuration:

Add the following lines to your Apache httpd.conf file or in the .htaccess file of the root directory of your site:

  BrowserMatch "MSIE" brokenvary=1
  BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4.[0-9]{2}" brokenvary=1
  BrowserMatch "Opera" !brokenvary
  SetEnvIf brokenvary 1 force-no-vary

  ExpiresActive On
  ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
  ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"

The last two statements require the mod_expires Apache module to be installed. For information on this module, see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_expires.html

Microsoft IIS configuration:

See: http://www.aspnetresources.com/blog/cache_control_extensions.aspx
