Stuff in the 'static' dir are normal Zope3 resources. They set the 
Last-Modified headers automatically based on the file's modification 
time and know how to deal with a browser's If-Modified-Since request 
[1]. They also tell the browser that a file resource has a cache 
lifetime of one day (86400 s) via the Cache-Control header[2]. This 
value isn't easily customized.
