You can set the last modified header. Here is the group of=20
headers I've used in the past to make downloaded files "static".=20
If you have this code in an include, you'll need to change the=20
target of filemtime() to point to the page file.

header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + 1440 *=20
60) . " GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s",=20
filemtime(__FILE__)) . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=3D" . 1440 * 60, false);
header("Pragma: public");

--=20
