How set Cache-Control headers for index.htm files using mod_headers?

Question

I need to set cache control headers for index.htm files Unfortunately the following configuration does not work. The reason when the user access “/” in a browser the server response with index.htm even it does not appear in the request.

<filesMatch "(index.htm)$">
  <ifModule mod_headers.c>
      Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
      Header set Pragma "no-cache"
      Header set Expires 0
  </ifModule>
</filesMatch>

How can I set cache control cookies?

Use LocationMatch instead of FilesMatch:

<LocationMatch "(\/|index\.(htm|html))$">
    <ifModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Expires 0
    </ifModule>
</LocationMatch>

Unfortunately it does not help. Please remind that we do not have request “/index.htm” but only “/” – Michael May 17 '17 at 03:51
Now the location should match both `*/` and `*index.htm(l)`. – Esa Jokinen May 17 '17 at 08:14
