Hello,
I have the following two blocks:
location ~* \.atom$ {
proxy_pass http://thin_projects_cluster;
proxy_cache projects;
proxy_cache_valid 200 10m;
proxy_cache_use_stale off;
#return 404;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://thin_projects_cluster;
#proxy_cache projects;
#proxy_cache_valid 200 10m;
#proxy_cache_use_stale off;
}
If I comment out everything in the top block and uncomment the “return
404” then I get 404 errors when accessing URLs ending in .atom, so I
know that that regex is successfully matching some of my content.
That said, the problem I have is that the cache is not working for the
top block, but if I comment the cache statements in the top block and
uncomment the cache statements in the bottom block, the cache starts
populating as expected. I can’t figure out what the difference is.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
Thanks,
Jeff

In what I’m guessing is a similar scenario, I also didn’t get caching
working when using try_files to send to a location like @cluster, and
then having those proxy_cache directives at location @cluster.
Does proxy_cache only work for explicitly defined locations?
Thanks,
Jeff
You ever get a solution Jeff?
I’ve come accross the same problem when trying to cache anything with a
.html extension - proxy_cache not liking the location / regex

The solution is to carefully check headers returned by backend.
The following may/will disable cache unless ignored with
proxy_ignore_headers directive: X-Accel-Expires, Expires,
Cache-Control, Set-Cookie.
