I am trying to change the Headers in the response. My frustration, is that I can change the ETAG header and it is returned by the browser at the next request but I can't seem to get the Cache Control or Expire header accepted by the browser
Does anybody have a clue why? Is this a browser issue and if so does anybody have a work around? The Etag is very useful because it reduces the work on the servers, but still requires the client (browser) to connect to the server. I want to add a Cache-Control header which would remove the need for the client to connect to the server at all, until the header had expired. A snippet of code is below:- response=HttpResponse(status=304) response["Etag"] = "test Etag" # This works. It gets picked up and returned in the next request by Firefox response["Cache-Control"]="max-age=120" # This does not work. Firefox keeps returning max-age=0 response["Expires"]= "Mon, 18 Feb 2009 13:36:08 GMT" # This does not work. Firefox calls the server. return response --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
