>>Step 1.if the requested file has been found on local disk, return the file
>>Step 2.if the requested file has not been found on local disk, proxy this request to original server and send the response to user and >save the file to local disk.

Should I >implement this feature on ngx_http_proxy_finalize_request function? And which data structure contains the returned file data, is it >u->buffering?
