Nginx Reverse Proxy Caching

[Sathish Kumar]

Hi Team,

Is it better to enabling caching on upstream or on Nginx.

Added to Nginx

add_header Cache-Control "no-cache";

ETag on;

gzip off;

proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;


Is it the right way to enable caching on a web application. Upstream server
is a Jetty application server.
