thanks for answering so quickly.
I have found some people mentioning the public setting for cache_limiter
here:
http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-seems-to-add-cache-disabling-headers/ There are purging plugins as varnish-http-purge which (supposedly)
purges Varnish cache when new content is created. I have found myself
having to manually ban content with varnishadm because it doesn´t always
work.
I have tested from a different machine with curl and currently it seems
expiration is set to one month. I guess from this setting in .htaccess:
ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month"
curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate'
