http headers not respected by nginx

[Micha-sus]

Bug Report

Current Behavior A static file is correctly generated by staticfilecache on first hit. After that, Nginx serves the generated "index" file from the temp folder, but with the default http headers. Content-Type, Cache-Control, Expires headers etc. are not respected by NginX. So all cached files are served indefinitely, the application is never hit to regenerate the static file.

Expected behavior/output After the statically cached file expires, TYPO3 is executed and the cached file is replaced with a current version.

I don't have much experience with NginX and its configuration, so I don't know whether the server is misconfigured, this is a bug or this is not possible at all with Nginx.

NginX Config for TYPO3 and StaticFileCache (Timme Hosting) nginx.txt

Hey @Micha-sus thanks for reporting. Do you have a good solution for this problem. There is this ConfigGenerator https://github.com/lochmueller/staticfilecache/blob/master/Classes/Generator/ConfigGenerator.php that create a JSON with all the information of the cache. But how we could pipe this into NGINX? Or should we create a other NGINX related file in this folder (other format?) Regards, Tim

Hi @lochmueller I can't think of any solution for this. I don't know how to make NginX read an expiration date and redirect to index.php if it is reached. As far as I know, NginX can only be configured with a vHost config, which has performance benefits, because it doesn't read a file based configuration like .htaccess on every request. But as I mentioned before, I'm no expert. That's why I opened this issue :-)

Kind regards, Micha
