djblets.views.generic.etag¶

Mixin for class-based views that support ETags.

class ETagViewMixin[source]¶

Bases: object

Mixin to handle ETag generation for a page.

This enables ETag support in the view for HTTP GET requests. On a request, get_etag_data() will be called, which will calculate an ETag for the content. If the client already knows this ETag, it will receive a HTTP 304 Not Modified. Otherwise, it will return a response with that ETag attached.

This currently only supports ETags for HTTP GET and HEAD methods.

• *args (tuple) – Positional arguments passed to the handler.

• **kwargs (dict) – Keyword arguments passed to the handler.

Returns:

The resulting HTTP response from the handler.
