A possible option that would work for both the client side caching and the server would be to pass back a Cache-Control header with a max-age attached when the 301 is returned. I am thinking something like this: if os.path.isdir(path): parts = urllib.parse.urlsplit(self.path) if not parts.path.endswith('/'): # redirect browser - doing basically what apache does self.send_response(HTTPStatus.MOVED_PERMANENTLY) new_parts = (parts[0], parts[1], parts[2] + '/', parts[3], parts[4]) new_url = urllib.parse.urlunsplit(new_parts) self.send_header("Location", new_url) self.send_header("Cache-Control", "max-age=600") self.end_headers() return None for index in "index.html", "index.htm": index = os.path.join(path, index) if os.path.exists(index): path = index break Possibly we could even provide some way for the max age to be variable.
