Proxy store question

Server NGINX
1

Hi all, I’m looking at proxy store directive, that would be really
useful for
a situation that we are facing, but I’m wandering how the store is
invalidated: when a new page is requested to the backend instead of
serving
the cached one?
Is possible to set a timeout, so if nginx finds that the stored page is
older
than a fixed amount of time it fetches again the page, otherwise it
serves
the one in the store, regardless of any header?

Thanks for any answer.

No, proxy_store is mirror on demand only. It never invalidates pages.
What you are looking is cacheing, that will be (I hope) soon ready.

well, good to know; in the meanwhile I suppose that a cronjob firing a
well aimed rm will do the trick.
Looking forward for any news on caching side, thanks for your answer.
