IIS7 Cache-Control

If you want to set the Cache-Control header, there’s nothing in the IIS7 UI to do this, sadly.

You can however drop this web.config in the root of the folder or site where you want to set it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
    </staticContent>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

That will inform the client to cache content for 7 days in that folder and all subfolders.

You can also do this by editing the IIS7 metabase via appcmd.exe, like so:

\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe 
  set config "Default Web Site/folder" 
  -section:system.webServer/staticContent 
  -clientCache.cacheControlMode:UseMaxAge

\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe 
  set config "Default Web Site/folder" 
  -section:system.webServer/staticContent 
  -clientCache.cacheControlMaxAge:"7.00:00:00"
