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 [RFC
2822].
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 posters SHOULD NOT
depend on it being completely followed.
