#13336 closed (fixed)

Document example for setting HttpResponse headers is misleading because it users wrong cache header

Description

In the HttpReponse documentation (​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpResponse) exists and example for setting headers in for the HttpResponse object.

The header used in the example responsePragma = 'no-cache'

This header is intended for use in requests, not responses. See ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers#Avoiding_caching
Better use Cache-Control: no-cache
