NAME

Nginx::FastCGI::Cache - Conveniently manage the nginx fastcgi cache

VERSION

version 0.010

SYNOPSIS

use Nginx::FastCGI::Cache;

# location is mandatory, rest are optional, these are the default values
my $nginx_cache
    = Nginx::FastCGI::Cache->new({
        fastcgi_cache_key => [qw/scheme request_method host request_uri/],
        location          => '/var/nginx/cache',
        levels            => [ 1, 2 ],
});

# delete all cached files
$nginx->purge_cache;

# delete the cached file for this url only
$nginx->purge_file('http://perltricks.com/');

METHODS

new

Returns a new Nginx::FastCGI::Cache object. Location is the only mandatory argument, and the directory must exist and be executable (aka readable) by the Perl process in order to be valid. The other two arguments accepted are levels and fastcgi_cache_key. These default to the standard nginx settings (see the nginx fastcgi documentation).

purge_file

Deletes the nginx cached file for a particular URL - requires a URL as an argument, and optionally, the HTTP request method:

$nginx_cache->purge_file('http://perltricks.com/'); #assumes GET
$nginx_cache->purge_file('http://perltricks.com/', 'POST');
$nginx_cache->purge_file('http://perltricks.com/', 'HEAD');

purge_cache

Deletes all nginx cached files in the nginx cache directory.

BUGS / LIMITATIONS

  • The fastcgi_cache_key only acccepts: scheme, request_method, host, and request_uri as keys. This shouldn't be an issue as it's the recommended convention, but let me know if further variables would be useful.
