Re: nginx-0.5.36

So for the time being should I update the English wiki to show that
0.6.30 is the latest stable release. It seems this would be best for
newcomers to understand rather than now it says 0.5.35 is latest. Yet
it may also be confusing for some to see 0.6.30 (at least until 0.7 is
branched) is also the latest dev release. Any way just let me know what
you think is best and I’ll update it or leave it alone.

The new cache feature in 0.7 sounds interesting - is there any where I
can learn more about what this is for and its benefits?

Go ahead and mark 0.5.x as “legacy” and 0.6.x as “stable” with a section
mentioning that a 0.7.x “development” branch will soon be started.

Thanks for helping!

Please, do as Cliff has suggested.

In first release cache will cache upstream responses on disk.

Is that more or less like this?

No, cache takes into account expire time to refresh responses and
inactivity time to delete responses from cache.

So basically that URL, with an LRU cache mechanism and expiry support?

No, requests are not directly mapped to filesystem. Instead md5 is taken
from the proxied URL and this hash is used to find response in cache.
Besides, the cached response has full header: for example, 404 response
may be cached. Also the response may be cached only if it was requested
no less than, e.g., 2 times for some time.

Igor - this sounds brilliant !

This is exactly what we need in my business to cache a large number
of dynamically generated images that are at the moment being stored in
HUGE monolithic directories.

I look forward to trying this.

That could be ok, we issue very long ttls on those urls because we
expire them by a version number embedded in the itself.

The main value for would be in hashing the cache store.

I can give the current snapshot.
It ignores the backend “Cache-Control”, “Expires”, etc. headers, so
this is the main reason why I still did not release it.
