I am trying to cache my requests in nginx. I have connected my django server as upstream. Now, I am trying to cache my requests.
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/ keys_zone=one:10m;
location / {
proxy_cache one;
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 10m;
proxy_no_cache $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache$arg_comment;
proxy_cache_bypass $cookie_nocache $arg_nocache$arg_comment;
proxy_cache_use_stale error http_502;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
Everything is working, but now I have added
proxy_cache_use_stale error http_502;
this statement.
It means that it should serve cached content even in case of error, 502 response code. To test it, I stopped my django server, and it should serve these requests now even when the django server is off.
But it is again sending 502 bad gateway.
Am I getting anything wrong here ? How do I get to know that whether my request has been cached or not ?
