newforms-admin does not send all HTTP headers

Description

When looking at the change list view for a model in Opera (9.23), change something, hit save. Click it again in the list and the old values are still there. Firefox (2.0.0.12) and IE6+7 don't cache the change form.

This may be Opera's problem, but I don't see any cache control headers beeing sent so maybe the default behaviour is just different?

I can't reproduce with Opera 9 on my mac. This probably means it's a weird upstream cache where you are.

I do not believe it's a cache somewhere between me and the server. But as long as nobody else can reproduce this I won't reopen. So could someone with Opera on Windows please try this?

Note that I go from the change view to the list (by hitting save), click the same entry again and Opera doesn't seem to reload the prepopulated form data. If I click 'Save and continue editing' it works fine.

IMHO it makes sense to prevent caching on the whole admin and it's just a tiny change to the base template :) (see patch).

I also can't reproduce this, and at any rate all of the admin views apply the never_cache decorator, which sets the Expires and Cache-Control headers to force immediate expiration and forbid caching of the page. If your copy of Opera isn't respecting those (mine does), you've got bigger problems.

Thx for the response ubernostrum! Did you test on newforms-admin? Which version of Opera did you use? Which OS?

I tested the headers again with Firebug but I can see no Expires or Cache-Control headers. What I get is this:

Response Headers
Date	Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:22:53 GMT
Server	Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/4.4.4-8+etch4
Vary	Cookie
Content-Type	text/html; charset=utf-8
Keep-Alive	timeout=15, max=100
Connection	Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding	chunked

So if you too tested on newforms-admin I will have to find out why the never_cache decorator doesn't work on my setup.

Ok, I just set up a test-project on the same machine with trunk, result:

Response Headers
Date	Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:53:25 GMT
Server	WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.4.4
Expires	Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:53:25 GMT
Vary	Cookie
Last-Modified	Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:53:25 GMT
Etag	2f62a785bb02ce2522f7e9efe4ec74c0
Cache-Control	max-age=0
Content-Type	text/html; charset=utf-8

That was the development server while my last post featured apache. So here ist the result from newforms-admin on the development server for comparison. They are both from the admin index page.

Response Headers
Date	Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:37:54 GMT
Server	WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.4.4
Vary	Cookie
Content-Type	text/html; charset=utf-8

And by the way: Django rocks :)

The newforms-admin views have not respected their trunk equivalent decorators, yet. Not sure if this is due to waiting for #6470. However, I was able to replicate the missing headers using Firefox.

Does this issue have any kind of priority? The admin interface is totally unusable in this condition. The pragma/no-cache meta tag has no effect in Firefox, Safari, Opera, or Internet Explorer as far as I can tell. I'm also having problems logging in - a message comes up saying I may have cookies disabled so it takes about 3 attempts before I can login, and new objects are still not listed; sometimes no message appears and I'm still not logged in. Logging out is also a problem - any cached page will still appear without having to log in again.

It seems I have to restart the server every time I add a new object just so it gets listed.

(Revision 7691 + pragma/no-cache)
