#### How can we help?
I'd like to implement a cache-busting mechanism based on filepath, meaning that I'd like to have the `cache-control` header be (exclusively) `max-age={MAX_AGE}, immutable`
However, I can't find a way to not have Inert (or HAPI?) adds the `must-revalidate` directive to this header (or to add `immutable` to it fwiw).
The way we're configuring our route:
```ts
server.route({
path,
method: 'GET',
handler: {
directory: {
path: dirPath,
listing: false,
lookupCompressed: true,
etagMethod : false,
},
},
options: {
auth: false,
cache: {
privacy: 'default',
otherwise: 'immutable',
expiresIn: 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
},
},
});
```
When calling the endpoint, the `must-revalidate` is added
```
Expected: "max-age=31536000, immutable"
Received: "max-age=31536000, must-revalidate"
```
Is there any way to prevent inert from adding the `must-revalidate` directive when serving the files, and to add custom directives (e.g `immutable`)?
