NGINX Caching: How to exclude a URL / slug from User Cache

If you have a custom login URL, eCommerce jobs/queries or unique requirements, you can exclude slugs from the NGINX User Cache (ea-nginx).

To achieve this under ea-nginx (acting as proxy in front of Apache/httpd, with NGINX as Reverse Caching Proxy) you need to add a snippet to the website's .htaccess file.

For example, to exclude a specific proposal on a website, you could use:

<If "'%{REQUEST_URI}' =~ m#/proposals/proposal-name/#">
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Expires "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"
    </IfModule>
</If>
