2 Cache middleware. If enabled, each Django-powered page will be cached based on
3 URL. The canonical way to enable cache middleware is to set
4 ``UpdateCacheMiddleware`` as your first piece of middleware, and
5 ``FetchFromCacheMiddleware`` as the last::
8 'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
10 'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware'
13 This is counter-intuitive, but correct: ``UpdateCacheMiddleware`` needs to run
14 last during the response phase, which processes middleware bottom-up;
15 ``FetchFromCacheMiddleware`` needs to run last during the request phase, which
16 processes middleware top-down.
18 The single-class ``CacheMiddleware`` can be used for some simple sites.
19 However, if any other piece of middleware needs to affect the cache key, you'll
20 need to use the two-part ``UpdateCacheMiddleware`` and
21 ``FetchFromCacheMiddleware``. This'll most often happen when you're using
22 Django's ``LocaleMiddleware``.
24 More details about how the caching works:
26 * Only GET or HEAD-requests with status code 200 are cached.
28 * The number of seconds each page is stored for is set by the "max-age" section
29 of the response's "Cache-Control" header, falling back to the
30 CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS setting if the section was not found.
32 * If CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY is set to True, only anonymous requests
33 (i.e., those not made by a logged-in user) will be cached. This is a simple
34 and effective way of avoiding the caching of the Django admin (and any other
35 user-specific content).
37 * This middleware expects that a HEAD request is answered with the same response
38 headers exactly like the corresponding GET request.
40 * When a hit occurs, a shallow copy of the original response object is returned
43 * Pages will be cached based on the contents of the request headers listed in
44 the response's "Vary" header.
46 * This middleware also sets ETag, Last-Modified, Expires and Cache-Control
47 headers on the response object.
