The cache decorator just caches the output of the controller function, not the final HTML output. If you want to do the latter, then you should have the function itself directly call response.render() and return that (this technique is mentioned in the book). > - Is it possible to use server-side cache of the view but **not** browser > side?

In that case, though, you probably would not want to do server side caching, as you will be continually adding to the cache with no benefit over client-only caching. Also, keep in mind that values are not automatically deleted from the cache (even after they expire), so you don't want to accumulate an potentially unlimited number of cache items (you'll at least need to do some periodic cleanup).
