696866 - Show Bug should set Cache-Control and Pragma to no-cache

Status: REOPENED

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, enhancement)

Description

This would allow an administrator to use mod_rewrite to allow shorter urls and ensuring that a bug is never cached.

I've been playing with the following code in show_bug.cgi:

use POSIX;
print $cgi->header({
    -format        => $format->{'ctype'},
    -expires       => 'Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT',
    -Last_Modified => strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT'),
    -Pragma        => 'no-cache',
    -Cache_Control => join(', ', qw(
        private
        no-cache
        no-store
        must-revalidate
        max-age=0
        pre-check=0
        post-check=0
    )),
});

Certainly an enhancement, but one that could improve the look of URL's.

Hmm, disabling cache sounds a bad idea.. but whatever is done can be done on the existing bug. :)

Ah, no, actually, these bugs are opposites, not duplicates.

Probably we should support rewriting, ourselves, first, before implementing this upstream. Otherwise, I would suggest just implementing it as a local customization for yourself, for now.
