scgi_cache_use_stale

Syntax:	`scgi_cache_use_stale error \| timeout \| invalid_header \| updating \| http_500 \| http_503 \| http_403 \| http_404 \| off ...;`
Default:	`scgi_cache_use_stale off;`
Context:	`http`, `server`, `location`

Determines in which cases a stale cached response can be used when an error occurs during communication with the SCGI server. The directive’s parameters match the parameters of the scgi_next_upstream directive.

The error parameter also permits using a stale cached response if an SCGI server to process a request cannot be selected.

Additionally, the updating parameter permits using a stale cached response if it is currently being updated. This allows minimizing the number of accesses to SCGI servers when updating cached data.

To minimize the number of accesses to SCGI servers when populating a new cache element, the scgi_cache_lock directive can be used.
