Proxy_cache seems not working with X-Accel-Redirect

Server NGINX
1

My config

location ~ /cached/ {
proxy_pass http://apache;
proxy_cache cache;
proxy_cache_valid 2h;
proxy_cache_key “$host|$request_uri”;

}

location /htdocs_internal/ {
internal;

        alias $htdocs_path;

}

Requests with header in reply X-Accel-Redirect not cached, every time
request is sent to apache. When i add these directives
proxy_pass_header X-Accel-Redirect;
proxy_ignore_headers X-Accel-Redirect;
cache works fine (but is useless :slight_smile: ), so it isn’t problem with “no
cache”
headers from apache.

Yes, proxy_cache can’t cache responses with X-Accel-Redirect.

As a workaround, you may use an additional proxy layer with
proxy_cache and proxy_ignore_headers X-Accel-Redirect +
proxy_pass_headers X-Accel-Redirect.
