Hi, <br><br>One idea...<br><br>With nginx proxy_cache you can use "proxy_cache_use_stale" to tell it to return the last known copy of a cached file on given backend errors.<br>If you do that for 404 error for css_*.css & js_*.js, it means that cached users will no longer be redirected to non existent css, instead they will be loading the css the page was using when it was cached.<br>

What is the preferred way to cache static files these days? (i.e.<br>
ccs/js)<br>
<br>
1. Recompile with slowfs module <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
2. Serve css/js through php backend and use fastcgi_cache<br>
3. Create additional nginx localhost server and proxy_cache from nginx<br>
backend<br>
<br>
Drupal6 has a nasty habit of recreating its aggregated css and js files<br>
(i.e. css_[md5hash].css) on module updates, etc. Which means cached<br>
dynamic pages end up pointing to non-existent files. An nginx cache<br>
could protect against that problem, but I'm not sure of the best way to<br>
do it.<br>
