Redirecting and preventing cache in Symfony2

Question

I am doing this:

domain.com/route-name/?do-something=1

..which sets a cookie and then redirects to this using a 302 redirect:

Answer 1

You have to make sure you are sending the following headers with the RedirectResponse ( if the GET parameter is set ) AND with your regular Response for the route:

Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-store;

Achieve what you want like this:

$response->setPrivate();
$response->setMaxAge(0);
$response->setSharedMaxAge(0);
$response->headers->addCacheControlDirective('must-revalidate', true);
$response->headers->addCacheControlDirective('no-store', true);

private is important and missing in coma's answer.

The difference is that with Cache-Control: private you are not allowing proxies to cache the data that travels through them.
