Description

With this configuration

server {
  root /var/www/example.com/current/public/;
  
  location / {
    proxy_cache_valid 200 302 1s;
    proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
    proxy_ignore_headers Expires;
    proxy_cache my_cache;
    proxy_cache_use_stale updating error timeout http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
    add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;

    proxy_cache_background_update on;
    
    proxy_pass https://someupstream;
  }
}

Requesting a uri with a trailing querystring, e.g. localhost:8080/api? prevents the background update from working and returns constant stale results, which only a server restart can resolve.

$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: MISS
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: HIT
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: STALE
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: STALE
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: STALE

If it run with either proxy_cache_background_update removed, or the trailing querystring removed, it works as expected.

Without proxy_cache_background_update:

$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: MISS
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: HIT
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: EXPIRED
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api?" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: HIT

With proxy_cache_background_update, but no trailing querystring:

$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: MISS
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: HIT
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: STALE
$ curl -sD - -o /dev/null "localhost:8080/api" | grep X-Cache-Status
X-Cache-Status: HIT

Seems to be a bug since proxy_cache_background_update changes the caching semantics.
