unable to set cache expiration on in app.yaml for a python app

Question

In my GAE app I am serving static content as follows (those are my entries in my app.yaml file):

handlers:
- url: /c         


        

Answer 1

After the hint from Martijn above I changed expiration values in my app.yaml to:

handlers:

- url: /css

  static_dir: static/css

  expiration: "0d 10m"



- url: /js

  static_dir: static/js

  expiration: "0d 10m"

Now everything works as expected and the I get the following headers in response:

cache-control:public, max-age=600
content-encoding:gzip

Everything seems to work as expected now.
