How to avoid url with fastcgi_cache?
no need cache list e.g

projectdomain.com/a
projectdomain.com/b
projectdomain.com/c/d

vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

http {
  fastcgi_cache_path /var/cache/fastcgi/projectdomain.com levels=1:2 keys_zone=projectdomain.com:10m inactive=5m;
  add_header X-Fastcgi-Cache $upstream_cache_status;

  ...

vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

map $request_uri $dont_cache_uri {
    default 0;
    projectdomain.com/a      1;
    projectdomain.com/b      1;
    projectdomain.com/c/d    1;
}

To avoid caching a request, you should use fastcgi_no_cache and fastcgi_cache_bypass together. The first one tells nginx not to cache a response, and the second one tells nginx to not try to find the document in the cache.

For instance, to avoid caching any request with a query string:

fastcgi_cache_bypass $is_args;
fastcgi_no_cache $is_args;

To avoid caching a request with a cookie named "logged_in_user":

fastcgi_cache_bypass $cookie_logged_in_user;
fastcgi_no_cache $cookie_logged_in_user;

To avoid caching specific paths, though, you need to combine this with a map, which lists the URLs you do not want to cache. Note that map must appear outside every server block, and inside the http block.

map $request_uri $dont_cache_uri {
    default 0;
    /a      1;
    /b      1;
    /c/d    1;
}

Then you can avoid caching all of the above.

fastcgi_cache_bypass $is_args $cookie_logged_in_user $dont_cache_uri;
fastcgi_no_cache $is_args $cookie_logged_in_user $dont_cache_uri;

Thanks for reply! I update code in my question, am I miss something? and what is `default` in map block and what is `0, 1` meaning? — user1575921, Nov 07 '15 at 22:37
@user1575921 The fastcgi directives go with all the rest of them. For the rest, you should read the documentation which is linked in blue text. — Michael Hampton, Nov 07 '15 at 22:40
