Pinto:...::File(3pm)

💖 Pinto:...::File(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your manual, and it's about Pinto::Server::Responder::File — literally just the responder for static files. that's it, that's the whole vibe. short page, but we're gonna give it the main character treatment anyway. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Pinto::Server::Responder::File — the responder for static files, no cap. it serves the static stuff and minds its own business 🫶

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.14 — yes, we're on 0.14, iconic behavior 💅

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💜 should_not_cache($file)

okay so this method takes a $file and returns true if that file should not be cached. and when it says not cached, it means the Cache-Control header gets set to 'no-cache' in the response. so like, the browser is getting told "bestie do NOT hold onto this one" 🙈

and rn — like, currently — the only files that shouldn't be cached are the index files. that's the whole rule. the index files are the ones catching the no-cache treatment, everyone else gets to chill in the cache. iykyk 💀
