How to include a config section in all modules in Angular?

Question

I'm wondering if it possible to include a .config section just once and that it affects all modules. Question is related with caching requests in IE, and since I don't want to do this in every module that is making requests, I was wondering if it possible to include a .config section globally...

I've googled quite a lot, look in the Angular tutorial, looked at the NG-book and found nothing on this regard...any idea?

Thanks!

EDIT: Just added this as a config in the module included in all controllers and it works

Have you tested to just configuring httpProvider in your main module? It should be enough. — tasseKATT, May 09 '14 at 21:14
Hello tasseKATT, nope I haven't...do you mean that there is some sort of inheritance between modules? I know that works like that with scopes, but not sure about config... — AlejandroVK, May 10 '14 at 07:53
All used modules are combined into a single app. There is only one injector per app, which is why services from all modules are available. This means there should for example only be one httpProvider as well. — tasseKATT, May 10 '14 at 08:13
tasseKATT, I've modified this as suggested and it works, if you want to publish an answer I'll mark it as the right answer. — AlejandroVK, May 12 '14 at 14:11

During bootstrap all modules are combined into one application and a single injector is created for it. Services in Angular are singletons in the sense that they are only created once per injector.

This means that there is only once $http service created and its configuration will be global for the entire application.
