While I'm building something with HTTP-Endpoint I solved a problem that someone can spent their hours to solve it if they are not familiar with it (like me).
If you are having a problem with your API (HTTP-Endpoint):
Your code changes not taking any affect.
You are getting same response even if you change the code.
Or similar responses.
Your problem may cause because of one missing header option: "Cache-Control": "no-cache"
I was trying to build a file download system using AWS with my Wix site but my changes were not affecting to my API so I remembered that maybe it's caching the request and I was right it was caching the request.
There are some request types that will be cached:
200 (OK)
301 (Moved Permanently)
404 (Not Found)
206 (Partial Content)
What you should do to let browser not cache your request?
You need to add a header option to your response and you need to clear your browser caches (cookies) to see changes.
Example response: (using response HTTP API)
return response({
status: 301,
headers: {
location: 'https://www.example.com/'
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
}
})If you add this 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache' to your headers in your response browser will not cache your request again.
Tip: Use Postman to check your API responses. (It's free)
If I wrote something wrong let me know :)
