TYPO3 Extension `nginx_connector`
=================================

[](#typo3-extension-nginx_connector)

Provides an Nginx cache connector which purges cached responses in Nginx along with cached pages in TYPO3.

Features
--------

[](#features)

1. Configurable Nginx base url
2. Sends `PURGE {Nginx base url}/*` when flushing the frontend or all caches in the TYPO3 backend.
3. Sends `PURGE {Nginx request url}` for all cached responses associated with a page when flushing its page cache in the TYPO3 backend.
4. Detects and handles failed Nginx purge requests.

Out of Scope
------------

[](#out-of-scope)

- Nginx: Handling of incoming PURGE requests
- Nginx: Deleting of cached responses

The handling of cache purges on Nginx side can be managed by the non-free, commercial Nginx module [ngx\_cache\_purge](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#purger) or by a custom implementation, for example this [Perl implementation](https://github.com/qbus-agentur/nginx_cache#nginx-configuration)– Perl scripts are supported by Nginx natively.
