Route site.local/logs/messages.json
Note, that Cache-Control headers are missing in the response headers
Ideally, the web server should return the following HTTP headers in all responses
containing sensitive content:
- Cache-control: no-store
- Pragma: no-cache

That is a library called logster.
You can send a PR to [GitHub - discourse/logster: Log viewer UI and framework for rack · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/logster)

Yes, I got that. The entire `/logs` route is handled by the aforementioned library, so you will have to hack on it.

I think this will help in resolving the issue
add to nginx
location /logs/messages.json {
}
```plaintext
add_header Cache-Control "no-store";
add_header Pragma "no-cache";
```
How to do this through middleware?
```plaintext
req = Rack::Request.new(@env)
route = req.path_info.to_s
if (route == '/logs/messages.json')
#add headers
end
```

You could submit a PR to discourse\_docker that added those headers via nginx (note: I have nothing to do with accepting a PR, but this seems reasonable).

And there is no easy way for example?
# plugin.rb
```plaintext
Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.default_headers.merge! ({'Cache-Control' => 'no-store'}, 'my_route_name')
```
or
```plaintext
Rails.application.config.action_dispatch.default_headers.merge! ({'Cache-Control' => 'no-store'}, '/logs/messages.json')
```

You have already identified the solution. You don’t need a plugin. Adding a few lines to your app.yml is easy and requires no plugin.
See [Serve Discourse from a subfolder (path prefix) instead of a subdomain](https://meta.discourse.org/t/subfolder-support-with-docker/30507) for examples of how to modify the nginx config in the yml file.

How do I add these settings in app.yml?
I could not get ☹

Great! Glad you got it!
Hey @falco. Does this seem like something that should be added to the web template?

No, that should be handled in the library code.
