Response Object

Another important function of Response object is the output of HTTP headers to the client. As part of the HTTP header, these types of response objects should be sent before sending any body content to the client.

Response.Expires Property

Response.Expires property sets the length of the time in minutes that the HTML page can be cached on the browser to calculate the absolute expires date & time according to the date & time on the server for the HTTP Expires header.

Syntax:

Response.Expires [=number]

 Or in an ASP file. Imply

<% Response.Expires = number  %>

Parameters:

number

The parameter "number" is the value of duration time in minute of a page in a cache. The data type of "number" is numbers. A value of negative number means immediate expiration. When the calculated absolute expires date from the supplied value of number exceeds January 18, 2038, IIS server will returns an error.

Remarks:

If the same page is requested by client before the page expires, the cached version will be displayed by the client.

If there are multiple Response.Expires or Response.ExpiresAbsolute  on the same page, the web server will use the shortest time period.

Since the system time on the client may not be the same as the system time on the server, setting the parameter of expires to zero sometime does not have the effect of expiring the response immediately. Therefore setting the parameter of expires to a negavtive number can ensure the expiring of the response immediately.

Examples:

  • Default value with No Response.Expires

    <%  %>
