Description (last modified by )
cache control decorator in 'django.views.decorators.cache' caches "bad" responses.
If something goes wrong in my view and it returns a 500 response, I dont want that to be cached.
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Caching#targets_of_caching_operations , only 200, 301, 404, 206 are generally cached.
This can be quickly fixed in 'django.utils.cache.patch_cache_control' by checking if the response code is among the ones specified above. Or optionally, let the user decide which status codes to be cached/not cached
