NGINX Cookbook

How to do it...

Building on our previous recipes, we take the existing proxy setup and add an additional directive:

server { 
    listen       80; 
    server_name  proxystale.nginxcookbook.com; 
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/proxy-access.log  combined; 
 
    location / { 
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; 
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr; 
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; 
        proxy_set_header Host $host; 
        proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout http_500 http_502          http_503 http_504; 
    } 
}
