These are an HTTP standard. You can set them on the response object in the action. There's ``response.headerlist`` list, a ``response.headers`` dict, and some headers have their own attribute. I think setting any of these will affect the others. From the WebOb manual: >>> # Set the cache-control header: >>> res.cache_control.max_age = 360 >>> res.cache_control.no_transform = True http://pythonpaste.org/webob/reference.html#id3 Doesn't Cache-Control default to no-cache' in web applications, because it assumes the page is dynamic and may never be the same again. You may be observing a different phenomenon, where the browser saves the values input into forms, and offers to re-enter them later if the form looks similar enough. This is not related to the cache settings. It's related to the form-data preference. In Firefox/Linux, go to Edit menu, Preferences, Privacy, and uncheck "Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar". Then go down to "Private data / Clear Now", check only the "Saved Form and Search History" box, and press "Clear Private Data Now". -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
