htaccess Cache-Control ignored

[Mahks]

The following directive is in htaccess in domain/cached, it works in apache but seems to be ignored in litespeed.

<FilesMatch "\.(php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public"
</FilesMatch>

When placed in the domain directory htaccess, it is applied, but then it is applied to all sub-directories.

What is the difference between litespeed & apache for this?

Edit:
I have been told by my hosting service that litespeed does not support htaccess in sub-folders.
Is this true? How do you set caching for different directories?

I don't think this is true. I have LSWS 4.2.1 and .htaccess in sub directories work just fine.

not true. you can test it easily.

When placed in the domain directory htaccess, it is applied, but then it is applied to all sub-directories.

just to confirm, what's the lsws version?

I don't know if this is the normal behaviour but the following should work :

<FilesMatch "\.(php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=31536000"
</FilesMatch>

From my tests when you specify both cache type and cache age litespeed ignores the Cache-Control setting. In litespeed's docs they either set it to max-age=xxx or to private.

Edit : I don't think the above will work either (at least not on LS 4.2.1) try to update to LS 4.2.2 and see if this helps…
