Testing it up

Let's see whether our new caching strategy is working as expected. Run the application in debug mode, and then issue a request to the test.html page by typing the following URL in the browser address bar:

http://localhost:<port>/test.html

We should be able to see the updated contents with the phrase we wrote earlier; if not, press F5 from the browser to force a page retrieval from the server:

Now, without stopping the application, edit the test.html page and update its contents in the following way (updated lines are highlighted):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Time for a test!</title>
 </head>
 <body>
    Hello there!
    <br /><br />
    This is a test to see if the StaticFiles middleware is working 
     properly.
    <br /><br />
    It seems like it works, and now it doesn't even cache those files!
</body>
</html>

Right after that, go back to the browser, select the address bar, and press Enter; again, ensure that you did not press the refresh button or the F5 key, or you'll have to start over. If everything worked properly, we will immediately see the updated contents on screen:

We did it! Our server-side task was successfully completed.
