The thought here is @nocache will succeed if a cookie is present and @cache will
succeed if not.
Try_files doesn't work this way. It checks *files* and uses
fallback in no one was found:
try_files /file1 /file2 @fallback;
Looks like
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#try_files
has wrong description and should be re-translated from scratch.
For a while use original documentation in Russian:
http://sysoev.ru/nginx/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files
(try google translate if you have problems with Russian).
The problem is, the first argument seems to be ignored. I say that because, if
I change JUST the try_files without changing any other lines in the
configuration I get two different results. In each case, the final argument in
the try_files is always reached...cache displaying correctly when there is no
cookie and a blank page if there is a cookie while try_files @cache @nocache
displays correctly when there is a cookie but a blank page if there is not.
So is this a restriction or a bug on using internal locations in try_files?
