Invalidate a cache page using the bypass mechanism proxy_cache_bypass, not
expiration

To put it simply, Invalidate cache for a particular key entry but not all
of the cache

e.g for

location = /vehicles {

proxy_cache_key $request_uri;

}

Hashtable for cache:

[

http://jj.com/vehicles/cars => cached page for cars

http://jj.com/vehicles/bus => cached page for bus

http://jj.com/vehicles/bike=> cached page for bike
+ 10,000 key, values
]

I should be able to invalidate just "cars" because my page for cars have
changed but not others. Say a person added a comment in the cars page.
Another analogy is to invalidate cache for a single blog post when all the
blog posts have been cached under a single location directive.
