A news website uses NGINX caching for article pages. They want to cache articles for anonymous users, but not for logged-in users because their personalized layout differs. They also want to ensure that requests with a session cookie are never cached. What is the most appropriate configuration?

Set proxy_cache_key to include the session cookie value.

Configure proxy_cache_valid to 0 for requests with cookies.

Disable caching for all requests that contain any cookie.

Use proxy_cache_bypass based on the presence of a session cookie, and also set proxy_no_cache for those requests.

What is the primary purpose of the shared memory zone in NGINX's caching architecture?

To buffer requests before forwarding to the origin

To store configuration directives for the cache

To store cache keys and metadata for fast lookup

To store the actual cached response bodies

How can an administrator customize the cache key to include a specific request header?

By setting the `proxy_cache_key` directive to include the header variable

By adding the header to the `proxy_cache_path` directive

By enabling the `proxy_cache_use_stale` directive

By modifying the `proxy_cache_valid` directive

An admin needs to purge a single cached URL from NGINX without affecting other cached content. They have enabled the PURGE method. What is the correct command to send?
