Hi all,
I found nginx a little while ago and I’ve been working on a fast
wordpress setup with it. One thing I’m having a problem with is serving
cached pages with an expiration.
So I have this (simplified a bit):
location / {
# If it's a real static file just serve it, otherwise
check the cache
try_files $uri $uri/ @checksupercache;
}
location @checksupercache {
# First check if user is logged in, etc, but let's
assume not, so we want to serve the static cache if it exists
# This is the point where I would like to check the
file’s mtime. If it’s too old, use @gotoblog even though the file
exists.
try_files
/wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$uri/index.html @gotoblog;
}
How do I implement that last part? Say I want cached pages to last 2
minutes. Something like this would be perfect:
try_files 2m blah/blah/$uri @otherwise;
What’s the best way to do this?
If there’s not a great way right now, would this be better/easier for me
to implement as a patch to try_files or as a separate module with a
separate command?
Thanks!
