hi,<br>thanks for your reply, I used your method and this problem didn't re-appear.<br>Another question.<br>Does proxy_cache support LRU? I read the code and find the die out of the cache item is freed by the expire time. That is, when the cache add does not succeed, it will check the expire queue and free the expired item? Am I right?<br>
