An NGINX cache serves a website where logged-in users (identified by a 'sessionid' cookie) see personalized content, while anonymous users see the same static page. The administrator wants to cache anonymous users' responses but always fetch fresh content for logged-in users. Which configuration achieves this?

proxy_cache_key "$scheme$host$uri$cookie_sessionid";

proxy_cache_valid 200 1h; proxy_cache_bypass $request_method;

proxy_cache_bypass $http_cookie;

proxy_cache_bypass $cookie_sessionid;

An NGINX cache is configured with proxy_cache_path /data/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=mycache:10m max_size=10g;. The cache stores large video files and small HTML pages. The administrator wants to ensure that video files are not cached if they are larger than 500 MB, but HTML pages can be cached regardless of size. Which configuration achieves this?

Set proxy_cache_path /data/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=mycache:10m max_size=10g; and proxy_cache_key "$uri";

Use a separate location block for video files with proxy_cache_bypass $upstream_cache_status; and proxy_cache_valid 200 1h;

Set proxy_cache_valid 200 1h; and proxy_cache_min_uses 10;

Use a map to set proxy_cache_bypass based on $content_length, and apply it to the video location.
