Squid -> web proxy

NginX -> web origin server


So yes. However ... NGinX has been shown to have some very big HTTP
compliance bugs when serving up dynamic content (missing 30x response
headers, corrupt/invalid ETag values, missing Last-Modified headers,
missing compression type headers on compressed content, missing Vary
headers on negotiated content, etc). Dont expect revalidation (REFRESH)
or dynamic object storage in general to work at all well when objects
are produced by a NGinX server. Squid does what it can to fix these
flaws, but is only capable of small miracles.
