title: Rails 3 Asset Pipeline + Apache + Phusion Passenger
body: <p>I am using Rails 3.1 w/asset pipeline, phusion 3.0.x and apache 2.2.17.</p>
  
  <p>In the configuration documentation at <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html">http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html</a>, in section 4.1.1 it states that I need to add a section to my apache config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LocationMatch "^/assets/.*$"&gt;
    # Some browsers still send conditional-GET requests if there's a
    # Last-Modified header or an ETag header even if they haven't 
    # reached the expiry date sent in the Expires header.
    Header unset Last-Modified
    Header unset ETag
    FileETag None
    # RFC says only cache for 1 year
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
  &lt;/LocationMatch&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have been assuming that Phusion Passenger has just been "handling" this... or have I been negligent in not RTFM?  If I want to take advantage of the fingerprinting, do I need to add this to the apache config?</p>
