Correct, but see below. > ..or that the requests were queued while a request to origin was made? For requests queued with proxy_cache_lock, this would be HIT, i.e. after a resource was eventually fetched from origin, queued requests to the same resource are served from now populated cache. > ..or that the expired object was served while an update was fetched?

Depending on fastcgi_cache_revalidate setting, EXPIRED is either simply due to an outdated cached response, or a failed revalidation. In either way, a full response is served from an upstream (origin) server. -- Sergey Kandaurov _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
