Github pages, HTTP headers

Question

I serve some of my files from my Github pages account. But when I check my "js" files' headers, I saw following:

Last-Modified:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:00:46 GMT  Expires:Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:13:23 GMT Cache-Control:max-age=600 

This file was commited 14 days ago. But I don't plan these files so frequent. So I need to make much bigger max-age value and change Last-Modified value to last commited date.

Is it possible to change headers of Github pages?

Answer 1

I asked this to Github admins, and they told me that "it is not possible" to change headers. They added this issue to wishlist.

Answer 2

The answer is no, however we can stimulate html header on html pages using <meta http-equiv> tag.

<meta http-equiv="last-modified" content="Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:00:46 GMT " /> <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="Private" /> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="600" /> 

You can embed these snippets into the HTML page.
