urllib.urlopen returns an old page?
python, urllib
Solution
Add the header "Cache-Control" with value "max-age=0" in your request
import urllib2
req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header('Cache-Control', 'max-age=0')
resp = urllib2.urlopen(req)
content = resp.read()
Using that header each cache along the way will revalidate its cache entry
Problem
So I have a very simple HTML page (a dir listing) and I try to read it with urllib, this way: ``` page = urllib.urlopen(coreRepositoryUrl).read() ``` The problem is, that the HTML I read this way is older than the newest. `info()` returns me this: ``` Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:48:09 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Connection: close Age: 481084 ``` And the page was last updated today (2013-04-25). Which component might be the one that caches?
