Cache control header missing in response headers (while using nitro.publicAssets)

Cache control header missing in response headers (while using nitro.publicAssets)

@Irelynx I think your configuration was wrong. Here's a working example:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // the $production alias is not _within_ the nitro config
  $production: {
    nitro: {
      publicAssets: [
        {
          baseURL: '/fonts',
          // if you pass a relative path it is relative from the `~/server` directory
          dir: '../public/fonts',
          maxAge: 35,
        },
      ],
    },
  },
})

When you are running nuxi preview you are not running a Nitro server so it is not able to set any headers. Instead you are previewing a static site (namely, a folder full of assets).

If you are generating a static site you will need to configure headers on your site differently, by configuring whatever is serving it.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

I tried different approach and started Nuxt app using node .output/server/index.mjs - same result.
How then i should start application to make headers works in this case?

When i tried to hook every request/response (using defineNitroPlugin) i see only request related to pages, so technically you are correct, yes. But how static resources served then?

I guess the only working way is using routeRules (doesn't work for nuxi preview, but works for node .output/server/index.mjs:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ...
  routeRules: {
    '/fonts/**': {
      headers: {
        'cache-control': `public,immutable,max-age=${60 * 60 * 24 * 365},s-maxage=${60 * 60 * 24 * 365}`,
      },
    },
  },
  // ...
}

@danielroe
Sorry for ping, but i guess this issue should be reopened.

[Irelynx]

Oh..
Yeah, you are right, $production was inside of nitro, and when I moved it to comply with your example - cache-control header appeared!

Thanks again for your time!
