Exclude redirects from Cache

[VadimBrodsky]

I have a few templates that use the {% redirect %} craft tag. It looks like the htmlcache caches the page and not the redirect.

Is there a way to disable or exclude htmlcache on some URLs or templates?

HtmlCache already appears to check for a 200 response code before caching, so I wonder why that is still matching for redirects (which would normally be 301 or 302). It might be an easy fix if someone is able to debug that one line of code that does the conditional check.

Or for anyone needing this functionality @Ottergoose suggested the following workaround here:

I did a bit of tinkering; quick solution I arrived at was to:

• set a custom header

  {% header "X-CraftAPI-HTMLCache: no-craftapi-htmlcache" %}
  

• update the logic in pull request Add an ability to prevent caching file by file #46 to look for it ("no-cache" was getting sent on all pages by default and prevented caching everywhere)
