django-response-timeout

django-response-timeout allows you to set the cache time globally for all responses. It provides a way to override the client side cache time for the Django per site caching middleware.

Installation

Installation is as easy as:

pip install django-response-timeout

Setup

Add response_timeout.middleware.SetCacheTimeoutMiddleware and place it after django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware so that it will set the header time first on cached responses.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
    'response_timeout.middleware.SetCacheTimeoutMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
)

Then set RESPONSE_CACHE_SECONDS to the number of seconds each page should be cached on the front end.

The Django documention does not cohesively describe how your middleware should be ordered, however this stackoverflow discussion does a fine job.
