OK, so I looked into the sheets extension that is now bundled by default
with Radiant, and I see where the default cache timeout for sheets is
set to 30 days.
I attempted to modify it alongside the standard page cache timeout like so:
config.after_initialize do
SiteController.cache_timeout = 1.second
SiteController.sheet_cache_timeout = 1.second
end
but this generates a
undefined method `sheet_cache_timeout=' for SiteController:Class
(NoMethodError)
error. I'm guessing this is because the sheets extension hasn't being
activated yet.
Where would I take advantage of resetting the
SiteController.sheet_cache_timeout setting?

I need to allow a Radiant user to edit stylesheets and immediately see

I have set the cache timeout to 1 second in environment.rb (for some
reason, setting it to 0 doesn't work in Chrome - great ;]), like so:
config.after_initialize do
SiteController.cache_timeout = 1.second
end
and regular pages show this response header
1.
Cache-Control:
max-age=1, public
But for a stylesheet request, I keep seeing a response header of
1.
Cache-Control:
max-age=2592000, public
which is effectively 30 days.
Stylesheets are served through the SiteController like anything else -
so I don't understand why they don't appear to be subject to the same
caching controls as everything else?
Should stylesheets obey the normal page caching rules?
(I have also tried overriding the "cache?" method of StylesheetPage to
no avail, FYI).
Thanks,
Wes
