Hi, devel team!

Playing with caching responses from FCGI server I’ve found not  
documented issue. When fastcgi\_buffering is “off”, then fastcgi\_cache  
doesn’t work. Yes, this is logical completely, but I think would be  
better specify it in docs.  
What do you think?

Cheers,  
w

Yes, it is completely acceptable that people (possibly) completely out  
of an entire project make its documentation. Or at least it is them who  
must decide what is good and necessary to have on the docs, and what  
isn’t. Remarkable.

Good to see this

If you think that explicitly mentioning this will be beneficial,  
you may try submitting a patch for the documentation. Note that  
this applies to both proxy and fastcgi (well, actually to uwsgi  
and scgi as too, but we have no docs for them), and to both cache  
and store. That is, proxy\_store, proxy\_cache, fastcgi\_store and  
fastcgi\_cache.

See here for basic instructions on how to submit patches:

Source of the [nginx.org](http://nginx.org) site with the documentation can be found
