Hi all, I tested the new proxy_cache_background_update function to serve stale content while fetching an update in the background.
I ran into the following issue: - PHP application running on www.example.com - Root document lives on /index.php As soon as the cache has expired: - A client requests http://www.example.com/ - Nginx returns the stale response - In the background Nginx will fetch http://www.mybackend.com/index.html (index.html instead of index.php or just /) - The backend server returns a 404 (which is normal) - The root document remains in stale state as Nginx is unable to fetch it properly As a workaround I included "rewrite ^/index.html$ / break;" to rewrite the /index.html call to a simple / for the backend server. This works, but is not ideal. Is there a better way to tell Nginx to just fetch "/"? Thanks, Jean-Paul Hemelaar
