Available in: v3.0.20 v3.1.12 v3.2.22.5 v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

expires_in(seconds, options = {})

Sets a HTTP 1.1 Cache-Control header. Defaults to issuing a “private” instruction, so that intermediate caches shouldn’t cache the response.

Examples:

expires_in 20.minutes
expires_in 3.hours, :public => true
expires in 3.hours, 'max-stale' => 5.hours, :public => true

This method will overwrite an existing Cache-Control header. See www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html for more possibilities.

Parameters

seconds req
options opt = {}
