Django - http code 304, how to workaround in the testserver?

Question

I have a CSS code that generates http 304:

[08/Nov/2011 15:22:07] "GET /site_media/logo1.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 0

How can I get a workaround using the Django test server? Any clues?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

The 304 code is not an error. You don't need a workaround. It simply means that the static file has not changed since your browser last accessed it

For more information see the Wikipedia explanation of 3xx status codes.

Answer 2

If you're getting 304 with files you did change, you can force reloading in your browser by checking "Disable cache" in your browser's dev tools (on Chrome/ium, right click on webpage -> inspect element -> go to network tab -> disable cache)
