Default Policy is Not to Cache (To handle logged in or dynamic pages since PyPI doesn't have the proper Vary headers). /simple/.* Has a policy for it to cache for 10minutes (If I recall correctly) /packages/.* Has a policy for it to cache for 1 hour (If I recall correctly) So they are both cached, but because we aren't invalidating the cache yet the simple index has a low timeout so there is only a short wait required for a new upload to be available. > > Jim > > -- > Jim Fulton > http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimfulton ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
