# AWS cache settings, don't change unless you know what you're doing:
AWS_EXPIRY = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7

# Revert the following and use str after the above-mentioned bug is fixed in
# either django-storage-redux or boto
control = 'max-age=%d, s-maxage=%d, must-revalidate' % (AWS_EXPIRY, AWS_EXPIRY)
AWS_HEADERS = {
    'Cache-Control': bytes(control, encoding='latin-1')
