IIS7 + ASP.NET MVC Client Caching Headers Not Working

Question

I\'ve deployed an ASP.NET MVC app on IIS7 and Windows Server 2008.

I\'ve read posts on here, and around the web, but can\'t get the darn client-side caching to work.

If you can't get it working using the IIS admin tool, try Jeff Atwood's recommendation from this thread:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="7.00:00:00" />
    </staticContent>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
