Hi, I couldn’t find what I was looking for in the search option.

For a page that displays current time when refreshed, when the client  
presses and holds refresh button, nginx should serve a cached version of  
the  
page instead of getting the latest. When client stops pressing refresh  
and  
waits for X ms, then refreshes again, I should see the newest time.

Is there an option for this in nginx?
