proxy_client

The proxy client sends invalidation requests to your caching proxy. The :doc:`Cache Manager </reference/cache-manager>` wraps the proxy client and is the usual entry point for application interaction with the caching proxy.

You need to configure a client or define your own service for the cache manager to work.

The proxy client is also directly available as a service (fos_http_cache.proxy_client.default and fos_http_cache.proxy_client.varnish , fos_http_cache.proxy_client.nginx or fos_http_cache.proxy_client.symfony) that you can use directly.

If you need to adjust the proxy client, you can also configure the CacheManager with a :ref:`custom proxy client <custom_proxy_client>` that you defined as a service. In that case, you do not need to configure anything in the proxy_client configuration section.

varnish

# app/config/config.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        varnish:
            tags_header: My-Cache-Tags
            header_length: 1234
            default_ban_headers:
                Foo: Bar
            http:
                servers:
                    - 123.123.123.1:6060
                    - 123.123.123.2
                base_url: yourwebsite.com

tags_header

type: string default: X-Cache-Tags

Header for sending tag invalidation requests to Varnish.

header_length

type: integer default: 7500

Maximum header length when invalidating tags. If there are more tags to invalidate than fit into the header, the invalidation request is split into multiple requests.

default_ban_headers

type: array

Map of header name header value that have to be set on each ban request. This list is merged with the built-in headers for bans.

http.servers

type: array

Comma-separated list of IP addresses or host names of your caching proxy servers. The port those servers will be contacted defaults to 80; you can specify a different port with :<port>.

When using a multi-server setup, make sure to include all proxy servers in this list. Invalidation must happen on all systems or you will end up with inconsistent caches.

http.base_url

type: string

The hostname (or base URL) where users access your web application. The base URL may contain a path. If you access your web application on a port other than 80, include that port:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        varnish:
            http:
                base_url: yourwebsite.com:8000

Warning

Double-check base_url, for if it is mistyped, no content will be invalidated.

See the :ref:`FOSHttpCache library docs <foshttpcache:varnish configuration>` on how to configure Varnish.

nginx

# app/config/config.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        nginx:
            purge_location: /purge
            http:
                servers:
                    - 123.123.123.1:6060
                    - 123.123.123.2
                base_url: yourwebsite.com

For servers and base_url, see above.

purge_location

type: string

Separate location that purge requests will be sent to.

See the :ref:`FOSHttpCache library docs <foshttpcache:nginx configuration>` on how to configure Nginx.

symfony

# app/config/config.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        symfony:
            http:
                servers:
                    - 123.123.123.1:6060
                    - 123.123.123.2
                base_url: yourwebsite.com

For servers and base_url, see above.

noop

# app/config/config_test.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        default: noop
        noop: ~

This proxy client supports all invalidation methods, but implements doing nothing (hence the name "no operation" client). This can be useful for testing.

default

type: enum options: varnish, nginx, symfony, noop

# app/config/config.yml
fos_http_cache:
    proxy_client:
        default: varnish

If there is only one proxy client, it is automatically the default. Only configure this if you configured more than one proxy client.

The default proxy client that will be used by the cache manager. You can configure Nginx, Varnish and Symfony proxy clients in parallel. There is however only one cache manager and it will only use the default client.

Custom HTTP Client

The proxy client uses a Http\Client\Utils\HttpMethodsClient wrapping a Http\Client\HttpClient instance. If you need to customize the requests, for example to send a basic authentication header with each request, you can configure a service for the HttpClient and specify that in the http_client option of any of the cache proxy clients.

Caching Proxy Configuration

You need to configure your caching proxy (Varnish or Nginx) to work with this bundle. Please refer to the :ref:`FOSHttpCache library’s documentation <foshttpcache:proxy-configuration>` for more information.
