I'm using django-pipeline + django-storage and an S3 backend, but I'm going crazy trying to load my static files properly using {% static %} tag.
I read and followed the pipeline docs: http://django-pipeline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/storages.html#using-with-other-storages
And I created the following mixed class:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.storage import CachedFilesMixin
from pipeline.storage import PipelineMixin
from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage
class S3PipelineStorage(PipelineMixin, CachedFilesMixin, S3BotoStorage):
pass
in my production settings file I have:
AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'myapp.S3PipelineStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'xxx'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'xxx
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'mybucket'
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
AWS_HEADERS = {
'Expires': (datetime.now() + timedelta(days=365*10)).strftime('%a, %d %b %Y 00:00:00 GMT')
}
STATIC_URL = 'https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/'
STATIC_ROOT = ''
When I run collectstatic using these settings, all works as it should, but by using:
{% static 'path/file.xxx' %}
I get an URL containing the querystring auth, despite I set False in AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH and thus my static files are not loaded… By removing that querystring I can load them propaerly.
I also tryed to set "querystring_auth = False" in myapp.S3PipelineStorage, but it seems to being ignored :(
Why settings are not respected? What could be an effective solution to remove that qs? (I'm thinking about a custom filter to strip it away… but I hate to write such "patch") …and finally, in case I have to keep that authentication query string, why is not working? How can I debug this behavior?
EDIT: it works… it was a problem related with caching :|
