Forcing nginx to return cached page on timeout

  • 772

I need to set up nginx so that when a timeout occurs attempting to reach the upstream proxy, that it will just return the cached version on disk.

Can someone tell me how, as the docs are a little sparse on information.

    proxy_cache_use_stale timeout;

    to serve stale objects in case the upstream goes timeout and

    proxy_connect_timeout 40;

    to control the timeout...
