Usage: from django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methods @require_http_methods(["GET", "POST"]) def my_view(request): # I can assume now that only GET or POST requests make it this far # ... pass Note that request methods should be in uppercase.

Since some software, such as link checkers, rely on HEA

vary_on_cookie(func) [source]

vary_on_headers(*headers) [source] The Vary header defines which request headers a cache mechanism should take into account when building its cache key. See using vary headers.
