Disable caching of a single file with try_files directive

Question

I'm serving Angular 2 application with nginx using location section this way:

location / {   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404; } 

try_files directive tries to find the requested uri in root directory and if it fails to find one it simply returns index.html

How to disable caching of index.html file?

Answer 1

Found a solution using nginx named locations:

location / {     gzip_static on;     try_files $uri @index; }  location @index {     add_header Cache-Control no-cache;     expires 0;     try_files /index.html =404; }
