Disable client-side caching in Django (while keeping server-side caching) ¶

If you want to combine this with UpdateCacheMiddleware and FetchFromCacheMiddleware, to enable server-side caching while disabling client-side caching, you need to add DisableClientSideCachingMiddleware before everything else, like this:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'custom.middleware.DisableClientSideCachingMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
    # ... all other middleware ...
    'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
)

where (file 'custom/middleware.py'):

class DisableClientSideCachingMiddleware(object):
    def process_response(self, request, response):
        add_never_cache_headers(response)
        return response
