Django provides several decorators that can be applied to views to support\nvarious HTTP features.
\nThe decorators in django.views.decorators.http can be used to restrict\naccess to views based on the request method. These decorators will return\na django.http.HttpResponseNotAllowed if the conditions are not met.
Decorator to require that a view only accepts particular request\nmethods. Usage:
\nfrom django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methods\n\n@require_http_methods(["GET", "POST"])\ndef my_view(request):\n # I can assume now that only GET or POST requests make it this far\n # ...\n pass\nNote that request methods should be in uppercase.
\nDecorator to require that a view only accepts the GET method.
\nDecorator to require that a view only accepts the POST method.
\nDecorator to require that a view only accepts the GET and HEAD methods.\nThese methods are commonly considered „safe” because they should not have\nthe significance of taking an action other than retrieving the requested\nresource.
\n\nThe following decorators in django.views.decorators.http can be used to\ncontrol caching behavior on particular views.
These decorators can be used to generate ETag and Last-Modified\nheaders; see\nconditional view processing.
The decorators in django.views.decorators.gzip control content\ncompression on a per-view basis.
This decorator compresses content if the browser allows gzip compression.\nIt sets the Vary header accordingly, so that caches will base their\nstorage on the Accept-Encoding header.
The decorators in django.views.decorators.vary can be used to control\ncaching based on specific request headers.
The Vary header defines which request headers a cache mechanism should take\ninto account when building its cache key.
See using vary headers.
\nThe decorators in django.views.decorators.cache control server and\nclient-side caching.
This decorator patches the response’s Cache-Control header by adding\nall of the keyword arguments to it. See\npatch_cache_control() for the details of the\ntransformation.
This decorator adds a Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store,\nmust-revalidate header to a response to indicate that a page should never\nbe cached.
