Disable static file caching in Tornado
The accepted answer does not work for Chrome. Subclass StaticFileHandler using the following:
class MyStaticFileHandler(tornado.web.StaticFileHandler): def set_extra_headers(self, path): # Disable cache self.set_header('Cache-Control', 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0')
Looking into the tornado/web.py it seems that the easiest way is to subclass the StaticFileHandler and override the set_extra_headers method.
def set_extra_headers(self, path): self.set_header("Cache-control", "no-cache")
