Webpack / React/ Spring Boot: caching bundle.js with https - reactjs

Question

In my Spring-Boot/React application, i want to cache bundle.js(1.2Mb). If i run the app with http://(test-envionment-server-url)/myapp, my bundle.js get called from cache (208 B) with HTTP status 304 every time i refresh the page. Until now everything is fine.
But when i use https://(test-envionment-server-url)/myapp, bundle.js is not cached and each time i refresh it gets all 1.2Mb, yet all other images and font get cached.
I am using Tomcat in local, and JBoss 7.0.x in my test environment.
Here is my webpack.config.js
const webpack = require('webpack');
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
module.exports = {
cache: true,
entry: [
'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8008',
'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
'babel-polyfill',
'./src/index.js',
],
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'react-hot!babel',
},
{
test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
loaders: [
'url?limit=2048',
'img',
],
},
{
test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf)$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=2048',
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loaders: ['style', 'css', 'postcss-loader', 'sass'],
},
],
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'],
},
output: {
path:`${__dirname}/(spring-boot-app-url/resources/static`,
publicPath: '/publicpath/',
filename: 'bundle.js',
},
devServer: {
port: 8008,
contentBase: './dist',
historyApiFallback: true,
hot: true,
proxy: {
.....(proxy config)
},
},
},
},
postcss: () => {
return [autoprefixer];
},
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.DedupePlugin(),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
},
}),
],
};
in my Spring i have some Spring security configuration:
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
httpSecurity
.csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(TOKEN_NAME).permitAll() // API
...(antMatchers)
.and()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers(TOKEN_BASED_AUTH_ENTRY_POINT).permitAll();
httpSecurity
.addFilterBefore(authenticationTokenFilterBean(), UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
httpSecurity.headers().cacheControl().disable();
}
Here is the Request header from my Network tab:
Accept:*/*
Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch, br
Accept-Language:fr-FR,fr;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4

Here is the Response header from Network tab:

When i run it with http url, the header request doesn't have any cache control.
Any idea about how to cache bundle.js file even when i run my app using https?
Thank you

Answer 1

Given the provided HTTP response, it seems your server is not sending the appropriate Cache-Control headers. Doing so can cause issues when you're changing the contents of your static resource.
This is why you should:
configure a Cache-Control header to be sent when serving static resources
configure a resource chain with a content strategy (see here)
The overall configuration for your production profile should look like:
spring.resources.cache-period=3600 # caching resources for 1 hour
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled=true
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths=/**

Answer 2

the problem was in my JBoss Configuration:
in standalone.xml i added gzip compression properties :
<system-properties>
<property name="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.COMPRESSION" value="on"/>
<property name="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.COMPRESSION_MIME_TYPES" value="text/javascript,text/css,text/html,application/xml,application/json"/>
<property name="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.COMPRESSION_MIN_SIZE" value="1024"/>
</system-properties>
right under extensions.
