They are only applied when running on localhost and disabled by default otherwise. You can enabled them in db.py by replacing:
response.generic_patterns = ['*'] if request.is_local else [] with response.generic_patterns = ['*'] or response.generic_patterns = ['*.html'] They are disabled by default because they may leak information returned by the controller action that you may not want exposed.
