proxy_store is not cache, it's rather mirror on demand:

location /images/ { root /data/www; error_page 404 = /fetch$uri; }

location /fetch { internal;

proxy_pass http://backend; proxy_store on; proxy_store_access user:rw group:rw all:r; proxy_temp_path /data/temp;

alias /data/www; }

if file is not found, then it will be fetched from backend and stored in 'root/alias' or in path specified explicitly:

proxy_store /data/www$original_uri;

Ah, that makes things clearer. Is it possible to steer this from the backend by setting headers in the response or some other means? But this alone will help a lot, thanks.

proxy_store /data/www$http_upstream_some_header;

Ah, great, first I thought, this would set only the location, but if the backend sets a "wrong" path, the backend can actually decide, if its content should be stored. The flexibility of nginx is amazing.

Hm, thinking about this some more, the setting of a wrong path would nevertheless mean, that something is written everytime the page is called. It would be better to have some form of conditional, preferable by the existence of a specific header, which can decide if proxy_store directive is active, and the return value from the backend is stored.

Perhaps this is out of scope of the mechanism.

With regards,
