Hi. I am trying to get a JS file cached by the browser using per-view caching with @cache_page and/or @cache_control. But the file is not getting cached as I would like.
I have the following scenario: A view generates a JavaScript file that is unique for each user. However the JS file rarely changes for a user. ----In view.py----------------------- @cache_page(37000) @cache_control(private=True, max_age=37000) def user_unique_js(request): ----------------------------------------- When accessing the page using FireFox I can check out the HTTP headers and they look like the following: ------------------------------------------------ HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 04 Dec 2007 14:59:43 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/ 5.2.0-8+etch7 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c Expires: Wed, 05 Dec 2007 01:16:23 GMT Vary: Cookie Last-Modified: Tue, 04 Dec 2007 14:59:43 GMT Etag: af0d1f45cb03ee198342ddb280f3164d Cache-Control: private, max-age=37000 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 ------------------------------------------------- However, from looking at the cache using about:cache, it appears the JS file get reloaded each time the page is loaded. ---- From about:cache ------------------------- last fetched: 2007-12-04 10:54:08 last modified: 2007-12-04 10:54:04 expires: 2007-12-04 20:16:23 ----------------------------------------------------------- The static JS files served by Apache do get cached. Their headers look like the following: ---------------------------------------------------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 04 Dec 2007 14:58:27 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/ 5.2.0-8+etch7 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c Last-Modified: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:59:20 GMT Etag: "67bf-8136-37463600" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 33078 Content-Type: application/x-javascript ---------------------------------------------------------- ---- From about:cache ------------------------- last fetched: 2007-12-04 10:54:06 last modified: 2007-12-04 10:52:48 expires: 2007-12-04 11:52:21 ---------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone have an idea of what the issue could? Am I attempting to cache the file properly?
