I have been trying to find a good and standard way of invalidating nginx  
fastcgi cache. Some time ago we had the fastcgi\_cache\_bypass filter  
which was not completely implemented and didn’t work (and has been  
removed from the wiki since). Now the only option seems to be  
fastcgi\_no\_cache.

Is there a way to cache that fresh response from the backend when  
fastcgi\_no\_cache is 1?

Like this:

1. Nginx receives a request with fastcgi\_no\_cache 1
2. Nginx skips cache and returns a fresh response from the backend
3. Nginx stores that response in the cache
4. All of the subsequent requests when fastcgi\_no\_cache 0 (with the same  
cache\_key) return that latest cached response.
