Description

Hello everyone. What happens is that if a 406 response page has a cache-control header, nginx caches the 406 even though the vhost instructs nginx to cache only 200's (that is what I thought proxy_cache_valid 200 did).

You can read more about it here: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/117738/165375

I know we are a few releases behind so if we just need to upgrade nginx please let me know so the ticket can be closed.

Thanks for listening.

The proxy_cache_valid directive is only used if there are no response headers (Cache-Control, Expires, Set-Cookie, X-Accel-Expires) which explicitly allow or disallow caching.

If you want these headers to be ignored and only proxy_cache_valid times used, use proxy_ignore_headers directive.

Replying to Maxim Dounin:

The proxy_cache_valid directive is only used if there are no response headers (Cache-Control, Expires, Set-Cookie, X-Accel-Expires) which explicitly allow or disallow caching.

If you want these headers to be ignored and only proxy_cache_valid times used, use proxy_ignore_headers directive.

Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.
