It is quite possible that you instruct blob cache framework to include only specific SP document Libraries . ( I have mentioned it as document libraries , as you must be aware it does not work well with custom folders created using designer etc)
Suppose I have few heavy .jpeg and .dhx in a spdocumentLibrary called HeavyContent .
I want to cache all .pdf , .doc ,.docx ,.flv,.f4v ,.swf in my web application , but .jpeg and .dhx are the one only from spdoc lib "HeavyContent"
Search for a tag similar to below mentioned in web.config and edit the path parameter. :
This will mark items as specified by path parameter regex for 24 hrs , to be cached.
\.(doc|docx|pdf|swf|flv|f4v)$ <----> everything which ends with extension mentioned
| <----> or
HeavyContent.*\.(dhx|jpeg)$ <----> content inside HeavyContent ending with dhx or jpeg
Disclaimer : I am not sure how performance will be affected by making path parameter complex.
Now suppose your IIS does not support some mime types like dhx and f4v. You have two options :
Option 1 : add mime type at server level in IIS.
Option 2 : use browserFileHandling = "Nosniff" in the webconfig section discussed above. [ Ref : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/09/02/ie8-security-part-vi-beta-2-update.aspx ]
$webAppall = Get-SPWebApplication
foreach ($_.URL in $webAppall) {
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication $_.URL
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingCache]::FlushBlobCache($webApp)
Write-Host “Flushed the BLOB cache for:” $_.URL
}

Mime Types with BlobCache

How to Flushing the BLOB cache
- IISRESET [Recommended : Increase the startup and shutdown time limits on the web application to accommodate the extra time it takes to initialize or serialize the cache index for very large BLOB caches]
- Powershell :
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White ” – Enabling SP PowerShell cmdlets…”
If ((Get-PsSnapin |?{$_.Name -eq “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell”})-eq $null)
{
$PSSnapin = Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
}$webAppall = Get-SPWebApplication
foreach ($_.URL in $webAppall) {
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication $_.URL
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingCache]::FlushBlobCache($webApp)
Write-Host “Flushed the BLOB cache for:” $_.URL
}
3. change enable to false in web.config , change location parameter , set enable to true
