Django cache per view

[dalescher]

I am trying to use locMemCache to cache some views with Django. When I cache the whole site with the following settings for middleware, everything works as expected, I have both html minification and caching working properly:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
    'htmlmin.middleware.HtmlMinifyMiddleware',
    [...]
    'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
    'htmlmin.middleware.MarkRequestMiddleware',
]

However, when I try to cache only some specific views, I delete both UpdateCacheMiddleware and FetchFromCacheMiddleware, and use instead the following in urls.py (as per django documentation about cache framework):

from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page

urlpatterns = [
    path('', cache_page(600)(views.HomePage.as_view()), name='home'),
]

Then, if I do not use htmlmin (HTML_MINIFY = False), caching is working fine. But if I activate htmlmin, caching is not working anymore. I tried to move htmlmin.middleware.HtmlMinifyMiddleware and htmlmin.middleware.MarkRequestMiddleware at different locations in the MIDDLEWARE setting, beginning, end, but without any effect. I also tried to use only one of the two htmlmin middlewares, but then there is no minification.

What am I missing here? Is it possible to use htmlmin with per-view caching?
