Which is correct.

OK, that would be sub-optimal ;-)

On request, the customer switched off the cache-breaking, so that problem has been solved.

As for the regex itself, I checked it in regex101.com and it did match the files. 

The customer has elected not to use typo3’s static file-cache and serve every page from typo3’s page-cache inside the database.

To get some sort of sanity, I want to micro-cache all successful GET requests for a minute.



Thanks for your ideas.
