In the first case, the conditions are that either there is a Pragma: header (other than "Pragma: 0") or an Authorization: header (other than "Authorization: 0") in the initial request. In the second case, the condition is if "user name supplied with the Basic authentication" is not empty (and, I guess, not 0). Basic authentication uses the Authorization: header; it is not the only thing that uses that header, and I guess that there may be a separate way to populate that variable (but I have not investigated). [*] strictly, it is more like "will not, not be cached". There are other reasons why the response might not be cached. > In addition, how can I verify the configuration is working as expected? Watch the logs. Watch the network traffic. Watch the files on the filesystem. Make a http request. Did it go to the fastcgi server? Was the response cached? (Was a file in the cache recently modified?) Repeat the http request? Did this one go to the fastcgi server, or was it served from cache? Did each of them do what you wanted them to do? f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
