How to tell Django not to use the cache for a request?

Question

I am using Django's caching framework with Memcached: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/cache/#django-s-cache-framework

It's working great. The only issue I am having is sometimes, I want to make a request to my Django server and tell it to bypass the cache. But I couldn't find any documentation on this.

How do I make a request to a Django server and tell it to not use the cache for this particular request?

Answer 1

How about put additional logic in request processor? For example, send additional header (or get or post parameter or cookie) and if header exists in request then bypass the cache.
