Hey guys,
My project makes pretty heavy use of etags for browser-level caching,
but I'd like to go one step further and be able to cache pages on the
backend keyed by the page's etag.
As far as I can tell, none of the current built-in caching
middleware/decorators or conditional processing does this, but I don't
think it will be terribly hard to implement.
The logic would look something like this:
etag = calculate_etag(request)
if etag in cache:
return cache.get(etag)
else:
response = view(request, ...)
cache.set(etag, response)
return response
Does this seem feasible? Are there any major problems I'm missing? Has
someone already done it?
If no-one's done it before, and you think it sounds super useful, should
I write a generic enough version that I can put online for people to use?
Thanks for any input you can give.
Cheers!
Tom
