6.11. Expires

[Previous Up Next]
6.11.  Expires
   The  Expires  header specifies a date and time when the article is
   deemed to be no longer relevant and  could usefully  be removed
   ("expired"). The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in
   [MESSFOR].

      Expires-content     = date-time

   An Expires header should only be used in an article if the requested
   expiry time is earlier or later than the time typically to be
   expected for such articles. Local policy for each serving agent will
   dictate whether and when this header is obeyed and authors SHOULD NOT
   depend on it being completely followed.
