[users@httpd] How can I configure setting a Header in httpd.conf based on content
type?

Hi
I'd like to try and configure the following outcomes in my httpd.conf:
a) for static images, stylesheets, javascript, Cache-Control:max-age
3600 and Expires: + 3600. This I can easily do by using the ExpiresByType
directive for these content types (text/css, application/x-javascript,
image/* etc)
b) for html, I want to set Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store (and probably
Pragma to no-cache or Expires to -1 to prevent HTTP 1.0 from caching). I'd
rather not use max-age=0 because that will download my pages to the user's
browser.
I can't see how to do b) i.e. define a different Header based on the
content-type which seems to be text/html. I've tried enclosing my Header set
command within a <FilesMatch "\.(htm|html)$"> directive, but this doesn't
seem to match my HTML.
Has anyone got any ideas please? Do I need to add a Directory of where my
application is? (I'm using a proxy server and my application server is on
another machine, so I don't know how easily I can do this, if needed).
thanks, Baljeet.
