Caching

WIP ???

The built-in Web Server does a good job in delivering any file on the filesystem to the browser but is is still a network and time consuming job.

Especially when files are requested by the browser multiple times we can use the standard http mechanism to optimioze the transfer further.

cache - This property can be used to replace the default http cache-control header for accessing the static files by a custom value. The default cache header is "no-cache" that is good while developing and configuring. But when have a stable configuration caching can be switched on using a value like "max-age=120" or "etag"
