Description
I am attempting to only cache GET requests. Here is the relevant proxy_cache configuration:
proxy_cache_key $scheme$request_method$host$request_uri; proxy_cache_methods GET;
Generating an explicit HEAD request:
$ http HEAD http://web01/
Results in a cache entry with the following key:
KEY: httpsHEADweb01/
I can't figure out how to instruct nginx to stop caching HEAD requests.

Actually nginx doesn't cache HEAD responses. Instead, when it receives cacheable HEAD request it sends GET request (not HEAD one!) to an upstream server and caches the response.
And yes, the docs mentions that “GET” and “HEAD” methods are always added to the list.
So you shouldn't do anything. Adding $request_method to the proxy_cache_key just results in duplicated items in the cache.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Oh, my bad. The docs mention this:
Seems the best thing to do is add
$request_methodto the proxy_cache_key so you don't serve HEAD cache hits for GET requests.Cheers!
