AIRAVATA-3622 Force revalidation for non-hashed static files
> Configure browser to revalidate cached static files when they don't have
> hashes in filename
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AIRAVATA-3622
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3622
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Django Portal
> Reporter: Marcus Christie
> Assignee: Marcus Christie
> Priority: Major
>
> Most Airavata Django Portal CSS and JS resources that are bundled are written
> to files that include a hash of the file's contents. For example, the
> create-experiment entry point may be written to a file named
> {{create-experiment.d239a691.js}}. This works well for busting browser caches
> and ensuring that clients always get up to date static files.
> However, some CSS and JS resources don't have a hash in their filename. By
> default these are typically getting cached by browser using freshness
> heuristics. But these files could be updated at any time. It would be better
> to use the Cache-Control header for these resources to let browsers know that
> they must revalidate these cached files with an ETag or Last-Modified
> timestamp.
> For hashed static filenames, we can also instruct browsers to cache those
> files "forever" since we are guaranteeing that an update to their contents
> will result in a new filename/URL. That should provide a small performance
> improvement by cutting down on unnecessary requests for immutable resources.
