django-beefycachecontrol 0.2.1
Beefier Cache-Control HTTP headers created by @never_cache decorator in Django.
django-beefycachecontrol is a Django middleware that smacks misbehaving upstream caches into submission with beefier anti-cache HTTP headers.
Normally, when a view is decorated with @never_cache:
@never_cache
def my_view(request):
...
The resulting HTTP headers (among other things) include:
Cache-Control max-age=0
While this should be sufficient to prevent the response from being cached upstream, but there may be circumstances where this is not enough. Enter django-beefiercachecontrol!
With BeefyCacheControlMiddleware enabled, these HTTP headers become:
Cache-Control max-age=0, no-cache, no-store
Cache that and you'd be arrested by the internet cops!
Installation
- easy_install django-beefycachecontrol or pip install django-beefycachecontrol
- Add beefycachecontrol to your INSTALLED_APPS
- In settings.py add 'beefycachecontrol.middleware.BeefyCacheControlMiddleware' to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
Usage
django-beefycachecontrol is a middleware. Once it is enabled, there is nothing more to do. It simply fixes up your no-cache related HTTP headers.
