Description

I'm using the following configuration:

events {}
http {

access_log /dev/stdout;

include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

server {

listen 8080;
root /var/www/html;

gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain application/xml;

location ~ /.+ {

add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";

}

location ~ /$ {

add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
expires 0;

}

}

}

and I'm expecting http://localhost:8080/ not to be cached and all other paths to be cached for a year. The actual behaviour is that the http://localhost:8080/ page also receives the following header:

Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000

That's because / in your configuration is processed via an internal redirect to an index file, see index directive documentation for details. Reading the How nginx processes a request article might be also helpful to better understand how request processing works in nginx.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
