@cache_page with no args causes IndexError

Description (last modified by Alex Gaynor)

When calling @cache_page with no arguments I get the following exception while running mod_wsgi. I'm not sure if that usage is valid. I would assume it would use CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS if nothing is provided, but I can't find anything about that in docs or see any evidence of that in the code. If that argument is required, I think a clear exception should be thrown rather than this one when running under mod_wsgi.

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 92, in get_response
   response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs)

Has patch: set
Keywords: @cache_page added
Summary: @cache_page with no args causes AttributeError with wsgi@cache_page with no args causes IndexError
Version: 1.1SVN

This behavior with mod_wsgi actually translates to an IndexError in the cache decorator code. The docs at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#cache-middleware-seconds state that this setting will be used as a default for the cache middleware and decorators, which is not currently true. The attached patch adds this functionality to match the documentation, which is also a sensible behavior in my opinion. The patch isn't particularly pretty, but neither is this decorator's code since it is littered with backwards compat functionality.

Replying to rokclimb15:

This patch seems to work fine for me as well. Any chance of this getting fixed?

Needs tests: set

With tests this will probably be good to go.

Added a slightly different approach at the patch, which allows the middleware to deal with the default cache timeout value. Hopefully a little more DRY. Also added a test.
