Hi,
if you set CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY = True the default order in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES won't work
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware?',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware?',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware?',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
)
From the tutorial it should be
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware?', # before CommonMiddleware?
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware?',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware?',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware?',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
)
but with this order and CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY = True you get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 272, in run
self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 611, in call
return self.application(environ, start_response)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 148, in call
response = self.get_response(request.path, request)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 59, in get_response
response = middleware_method(request)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/middleware/cache.py", line 51, in process_request
if self.cache_anonymous_only and request.user.is_authenticated():
AttributeError?: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'
The correct order I asume is:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware?', ## before AuthenticationMiddleware?
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware?', ## before CacheMiddleware?
'django.middleware.cache.CacheMiddleware?',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware?',
'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
)
To give the user a better error message for this dependancy I attach a fix.
Regards,
Dirk
