617791 - Cache the woff out of fonts on mozilla.com

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeff Balogh (:jbalogh)]

This may be an IT bug, but I think mozcom has font stuff in a .htaccess so I'm filing here.

Fonts are not getting cached in my Firefox, and I can't tell why.

Maybe it's the two-week expiry?  Can we bump that up to something more reasonable like 10 years?

Also, we should turn off gzip for .woff: it actually makes the 42K .woff go up to 43K.  .woff is already compressed.

Here's the relevant lines from htaccess:
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|woff|eot)$">
    Header append vary "Referer"
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 weeks"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>


Yes, 2 week expiry.  Agreed, we can set it to much longer, and change file names if we need to change them for some (very unlikely) reason.  

If the files aren't being cached *at all* in your Firefox, I kinda doubt changing the expiry will help that.

Sure, we can turn of gzip too (I think, once I figure out the setting for that)

I think switching to "access plus 10 years" is good enough for this bug. We'll figure out the rest in bug 619767. Can you take this Alex?
