I have a little problem with caching the images in the browser for my app-engine application
I`m sending last-modified, expires and cache-control headers but image is loaded from the server every time.
Here is the header part of the code:
response['Content-Type'] = 'image/jpg'
response['Last-Modified'] = current_time.strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT')
response['Expires'] = current_time + timedelta(days=30)
response['Cache-Control'] = 'public, max-age=2592000'
Here is an example code for my fix copy in dpaste here
def view_image(request, key):
data = memcache.get(key)
if data is not None:
if(request.META.get('HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE') >= data['Last-Modified']):
data.status_code = 304
return data
else:
image_content_blob = #some code to get the image from the data store
current_time = datetime.utcnow()
response = HttpResponse()
last_modified = current_time - timedelta(days=1)
response['Content-Type'] = 'image/jpg'
response['Last-Modified'] = last_modified.strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT')
response['Expires'] = current_time + timedelta(days=30)
response['Cache-Control'] = 'public, max-age=315360000'
response['Date'] = current_time
response.content = image_content_blob
memcache.add(image_key, response, 86400)
return response
