Fighting client-side caching in Django

Question

Answer 1

Actually writing my own middleware was easy enough:

from django.http import HttpResponse


class NoCacheMiddleware(object):

    def process_response(self, request, response):

        response['Pragma'] = 'no-cache'
        response['Cache-Control'] = 'no-cache must-revalidate proxy-revalidate'

        return response

Still doesn't really behave like i wanted but so neither does the @never_cache decorator
