title: Htaccess Expires Header in Multiple Directories
body: <p>Somehow I need to confirm how htaccess expires headers works when used in the home directory as well as subdirectories.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I have this in the home directory's htaccess:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ExpiresActive On 
  ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then let's say I have this in an htaccess in a /thumbnails/ subdirectory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ExpiresActive On 
  ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So globally on the site, GIF images are meant to cache for a month, but for the /thumbnails/ directory, GIF images are meant to cache for a year. Am I correct in assuming that the htaccess in the /thumbnails/ directory will override the htaccess in the home directory? Or is it vice versa? Any documentation confirming as such?</p>
