Django weird css issue

Question

I'm facing some weird css issue with django . My css works fine but some how if i change any rule or add another one it does not take effect .

i'm using this to put css on django :

    (r'^/css/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root':'/home/lioy/django_projects/terrasis/css/'}),

and it is linked to my base.html :

< link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css" type="text/css" />

It works . But somehow the changes that i made to my style.css doesnt take effect .I tried to change the background color of one already working propertie and nothing happend. Is that a bug or something .. ?

I restarted the django server and it doesnt make any difference ...

To speed up page loads your browser is likely using a cached copy of your CSS file; thinking that it hasn't changed since it was last fetched.

In that case you'll see something like this in the console:

[12/Feb/2011 20:50:35] "GET /site_media/css/style.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0

Where the 304 Not Modified status code means:

If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code.

You can press ctrl+F5 to force a cache refresh (in Firefox anyway).
After that you should see that the browser fetches the CSS file again, e.g.:

[12/Feb/2011 22:05:02] "GET /site_media/css/style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 2242
