Hi Tobias — Welcome aboard!
> Possible fix: Add add_never_cache_headers to the static.py serve method
I don't think this is the right approach. As far as I can see the browser
behaviour is correct and as desired, serving static assets from the
browser cache when possible.
When working on a file this behaviour can be undesired. For that all the
browsers allow disabling the caches (at least while the dev tools are
open) by accessing the settings (normally via the little cog or hamburger
menu on in the dev tools, or via the Develop menu in Safari). If you check
this static assets are fetched on each request.
If you **really** wanted to add no cache headers you could do so in a
middleware, but I don't think it's appropriate for projects in general.
I hope that makes sense.
