Modifying the Cache-Control header to ensure the client has a fresh copy of the resource being requested.
In the original code max-age was set to 3156000 seconds, 1 year. This would cause the response to be cached for up to a year, subject to cache space, before the cache would check against the server if the cached copy was still fresh.

Cache-Controlheader to ensure the client has a fresh copy of the resource being requested.In the original code
max-agewas set to 3156000 seconds, 1 year. This would cause the response to be cached for up to a year, subject to cache space, before the cache would check against the server if the cached copy was still fresh.Changing this to
max-age=60, must-revalidatewill mean that the response will used from cache for 1 minute. After a minute the client will revalidate using the etag, which is handled by https://github.com/beakerbrowser/homebase/blob/a8261341b5cf1927c72974717965b5839a2684df/lib/vhosts/dat.js#L181-L182This PR will close #36
