Hello, I recently opened a ticket (#33148 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33148>) but it was closed as duplicate of (#32891 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/32891>) which itself is marked "wontfix".
The reasoning provided by Carlton Gibson for this is: > *I don't think this is the right approach. As far as I can see the browser behaviour is correct and as desired, s**erving static assets from the browser cache when possible.* At least while DEBUG is True, I see no harm in setting `Cache-Control: max-age=0` header. This will allow browsers to cache the files while forcing them to revalidate cache using the If-Modified-Since header. This way, Django can serve updated files if they get modified or return a 304 response in which case browsers will use the cached file (conforming to Carlton's comment about using browser cache when possible). This will aid in development as we now have to open the browser's network tab and disable the cache to refresh static files. In Mobile, disabling cache is not possible, so we have to test in Incognito Mode. It's a frustrating development experience.
