Add Cache-Control and Expires headers to Azure Storage Blobs

Question

I\'m using Azure Storage to serve up static file blobs but I\'d like to add a Cache-Control and Expires header to the files/blobs when served up to reduce bandwidth costs.

Answer 1

Sometimes, the simplest answer is the best one. If you just want to manage a small amount of blobs, you can use Azure Management to change the headers/metadata for your blobs.

1. Click on Storage, then click on the storage account name.
2. Click the Containers tab, then click on a container.
3. Click on a blob, then click on Edit at the bottom of the screen.

In that edit window, you can customize the Cache Control, Content Encoding, Content Language, and more.

Note: you cannot currently edit this data from the Azure Portal
