How can I set now + 1year expiration for my http responses properly in django?
Can I do that using the render() shortcut?

Another alternative is to use patch_response_headers(response, cache_timeout=None) from django.utils.cache. This will simply set the Expires and Cache-Control HTTP headers on the response object according to the specified timeout in seconds.

For example in your view code you can apply it to your HttpResponse object before you return it:

from django.utils.cache import patch_response_headers

# Add Expires and Cache-Control headers to cache in browser for 5 minutes
patch_response_headers(response, cache_timeout=300)

return response

This may be a better solution if you only want the browser to cache the response for a specific amount of time with no caching occurring on the server.

See the Django documentation for more details: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/utils/#django.utils.cache.patch_response_headers

You can do it using decorators, see the relevant docs on using per-view cache.
