Been tearing out my hair for hours today trying to get proxy\_store to  
work. Is there a minimum version for proxy\_store with variables  
support?

My nginx refuses to work with simple stuff like  
set $md5 test;  
proxy\_store /data/nginx/1/$md5;"

instead trying to store to [root]/[full url] evident by the error log  
2012/06/28 17:13:24 [error] 5700#0: \*1 open()  
“/usr/html/img/diagram.png” failed (2: No such file or directory),  
client: 192.168.2.2, server: , request: “GET /img/diagram.png  
HTTP/1.1”, host: “192.168.2.15:88”

My nginx version 1.2.1

I dont see it in the changelog, howeaver maybe its a new feature? Not  
in stable that is.

Haha, serves me right. Did a clean build (make clean, configure,  
build) and the issue was fixed. Strange but im glad it works.

As always thanks for all the hard work. nginx is amazing.
