TYPO3 Extension nginx_connector

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

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

• 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 or by a custom implementation, for example this Perl implementation – Perl scripts are supported by Nginx natively.
